Paraoxonase Gene Polymorphisms and Aortic Calcification [PDF]
International Journal of Gerontology, 2010 Background: Aortic arch calcification is correlated with the extent of atherosclerosis and is a predictor of future cardiovascular risk. The paraoxonase (PON) gene can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis development.

Increased calcification by erythrophagocytosis in aortic valvular interstitial cells
ESC Heart FailureBackground Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) progresses over time to severe aortic stenosis and eventually heart failure. Recent evidence indicates that intraleaflet haemorrhage (ILH) strongly promotes CAVD progression.

Early diagnosis of aortic calcification through dental X-ray examination for dental pulp stones
Scientific Reports, 2023 Vascular calcification, an ectopic calcification exacerbated by aging and renal dysfunction, is closely associated with cardiovascular disease. However, early detection indicators are limited.

AORTIC ARCH CALCIFICATION IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE [PDF]
Romanian Journal of Medical Practice, 2019 Introduction. Vascular calcification is an independent risk factor related to cardiovascular mortality in CKD patients. Advanced aortic arch calcification assessed by semi-quantitative estimation on posteroanterior chest X-ray is a strong independent ...

Calcification and photosynthesis in montipora sp. (cnidaria) and corallina officinalis (rhodophyceae) [PDF]
, 2006 PhDOver half of the world's calcification is carried out by algae or by organisms which harbour them, such as coccol ithoph ores, foraminiferans, coralline seaweeds and reef-building corals.

Calcific Aortic Valve Stenosis and Atherosclerotic Calcification
Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2020 This review summarizes the pathophysiology of calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) and surveys relevant clinical data and basic research that explain how CAVS arises.Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), oxidized phospholipids (OxPL), autotaxin, and genetic driving forces such as mutations in LPA gene and NOTCH ...
