Quantitative Analysis of Abdominal Aortic Calcification in CKD Patients Without Dialysis Therapy by Use of the Agatston Score

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2014
Background/Aim: The aim of the present study was to quantitatively examine factors associated with aortic calcification in non-dialysis CKD patients. Methods: We quantitatively investigated aortic calcification from the renal artery to the bifurcation in

Descending aortic calcification increases renal dysfunction and in-hospital mortality in cardiac surgery patients with intraaortic balloon pump counterpulsation placed perioperatively : a case control study [PDF]

, 2012
Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery increases length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality. A significant number of patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures require perioperative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP ...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Dialysis Patients [PDF]

, 2012
Background/Aims: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a new therapeutic option for high-risk patients. However, dialysis patients were excluded from all previous studies.

Extent and distribution of calcification of both the aortic annulus and the left ventricular outflow tract predict aortic regurgitation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement [PDF]

, 2014
Aims: We sought to analyse local distribution of aortic annulus and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) calcification in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and its impact on aortic regurgitation (AR) immediately after ...

Heart Valve Calcification

, 2021
This chapter focuses on the calcification of heart valves. The extent of valve calcification may vary from mild sclerosis with no effects on valve function to the development of leaflets calcification which causes valve dysfunction. It is well known that

Matrix Gla protein negatively regulates calcification of human aortic valve interstitial cells isolated from calcified aortic valves

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2018
Calcified aortic valve stenosis (CAS) is a common heart valve disease in elderly people, and is mostly accompanied by ectopic valve calcification. We recently demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induces calcification of human aortic valve ...

The impact of vascular calcification on ambulatory and central aortic blood pressure in a South African dwelling dialysis population : a clinical, radiological and pathophysiological study of vascular health in a young prevalent dialysis population in a developing country [PDF]

, 2011
Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.In Sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence of vascular calcification (VC) in CKD-5D is unknown. We undertook to determine the effect of ethnicity on VC, the risk factors for VC, the utility of abdominal X ...

The long non-coding HOTAIR is modulated by cyclic stretch and WNT/β-CATENIN in human aortic valve cells and is a novel repressor of calcification genes.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Aortic valve calcification is a significant and serious clinical problem for which there are no effective medical treatments. Individuals born with bicuspid aortic valves, 1-2% of the population, are at the highest risk of developing aortic valve ...

Perfluoroalkyl Substances and Abdominal Aortic Calcification

Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 2022
Objective: To evaluate if serum perfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS) were associated with abdominal aortic calcification (AAC). Methods: We used weighted logistic regression to investigate the gender-specific association between PFAS serum levels and AAC more than or equal to 6 from
