Age, Sex, and Valve Phenotype Differences in Fibro‐Calcific Remodeling of Calcified Aortic Valve

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background In calcific aortic valve disease on tricuspid aortic valves (TAVs), men have higher aortic valve calcification and less fibrosis than women. However, little is known in bicuspid aortic valves (BAV).

Quantity and location of aortic valve calcification predicts paravalvular leakage after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
IntroductionTranscatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is the first-line treatment for patients with moderate-to-high surgical risk of severe aortic stenosis. Paravalvular leakage (PVL) is a serious complication of TAVR, and aortic valve calcification

Aortic Arch Calcification and the Risk of Cancer: A Population-Based Cohort Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2020
Background: Atherosclerosis and cancer share multiple disease pathways. Yet, it is unclear if atherosclerosis is associated with a subsequent higher cancer risk.

Aortic calcification and abdominal aortic aneurysm expansion [PDF]

open access: yesAtherosclerosis, 2009
To the Editor: We read with great interest the recent publication by Dr Lindholt1. In this study the severity of aortic calcification was inversely correlated with the growth rate of small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The author’s finding fits with a recent study by our group demonstrating that AAA growth was reduced in diabetic patients2.

Coffee consumption and coronary calcification: The Rotterdam coronary calcification study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
BACKGROUND - The role of coffee in the cardiovascular system is not yet clear. We examined the relation of coffee intake with coronary calcification in a population-based cohort.

Impact of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Calcification on Procedural Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to systematically assess the importance of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) calcification on procedural outcomes and device performances with contemporary transcatheter heart valve (THV) systems.

Non-linear finite element analyses of the aortic heart valve [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Includes bibliographical references.Finite element models of the aortic heart valve have been successfully used in the past to gain insight into the mechanics of the valve and to aid in understanding of valve failure.

Diagnostic value of fibroblast growth factor 23 for abdominal aortic calcification in Indonesian hemodialysis patients

open access: yesTzu Chi Medical Journal, 2021
Objective: Homeostasis of serum phosphorus and calcitriol level is regulated mainly by fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Studies show that elevated serum FGF23 level was significantly associated with aortic calcification severity, peripheral blood ...

Spontaneous Calcific Embolization Associated with Calcific Aortic Stenosis [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 1963
The problem of spontaneous calcific embolization was investigated at necropsy in 165 patients with calcific aortic stenosis. Minor coronary arteries contained calcific emboli in 18 patients (11 per cent), and major coronary arteries contained calcific emboli in 10 (6 per cent).

Predicting progression of aortic stenosis by measuring serum calcification propensity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
BACKGROUND: The aim of this prospective, double‐blinded study in patients with aortic sclerosis was to determine whether a new calcification propensity measure in the serum could predict disease progression.
