Echocardiographic Calcium Score of Aortic Valve Correlates with Coronary Artery Calcium Score in Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia [PDF]

Life
Background: Patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) are at a high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The coronary artery calcification (CAC) score by the Ct-scan Agatston calcium score (ACS) > 100 classifies FH at a ...

Subthreshold Aortic Valve Calcium Scores in Severe Aortic Stenosis and Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
We have clinically observed that some patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis and severe aortic stenosis may have lesser degrees of calcification than one might expect.

Aortic valve calcium scoring is a predictor of significant paravalvular aortic insufficiency in transapical-aortic valve implantation [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery, 2012
Transapical-aortic valve implantation (TA-AVI) has evolved as routine for selected high-risk patients. However, paravalvular leaks >1+ remain an unsolved issue using current generations of transcatheter valve devices. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of native aortic valve calcification on paravalvular leaks and outcomes using ...

Computed Tomography Aortic Valve Calcium Scoring in Patients With Bicuspid Aortic Valve Stenosis [PDF]

Structural Heart, 2022
Sex-specific thresholds of computed tomography (CT)-derived aortic valve calcification (AVC) or AVC density (AVCd) to identify severe aortic stenosis (AS) have been established in populations that consisted mainly of Caucasians with a tricuspid aortic valve. The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy (i.e., sensitivity and specificity) of

Computed tomography aortic valve calcium scoring for the assessment of aortic stenosis progression [PDF]

Heart, 2020
Objective CT quantification of aortic valve calcification (CT-AVC) is useful in the assessment of aortic stenosis severity. Our objective was to assess its ability to track aortic stenosis progression compared with echocardiography. Methods Subjects
