High Agatston aortic valve calcium score predicts transcatheter paravalvular aortic regurgitation [PDF]
MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the records of 303 patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement with the SAPIEN/SAPIEN XT valve (Edwards Lifesciences Corporation, Irvine, Calif) from November 2008 through August 2013. From this population, a study group was created of the 99 patients (32.9%) who underwent preopertive contrast ...

Mitral Annular and Coronary Artery Calcification Are Associated with Mortality in HIV-Infected Individuals. [PDF]
BackgroundHIV infection increases cardiovascular risk. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) and mitral annular calcification (MAC) identify patients at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to examine the association between

Paravalvular leak with ACURATE neo and neo2: a comparative study with calcium quantification
Introduction and objectives: Moderate or severe paravalvular leak (PVL) following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been associated with worse outcomes. Aortic valve (AV) calcification is a strong predictor of PVL.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Dialysis Patients [PDF]
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.

HDAC9 is implicated in atherosclerotic aortic calcification and affects vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype. [PDF]
Aortic calcification is an important independent predictor of future cardiovascular events. We performed a genome-wide association meta-analysis to determine SNPs associated with the extent of abdominal aortic calcification (n = 9,417) or descending ...

Arrhythmic risk in elderly patients candidates to transcatheter aortic valve replacement. predicative role of repolarization temporal dispersion [PDF]
Degenerative aortic valve stenosis (AS) is associated to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, as well as mental stress in specific patients. In such a context, substrate, autonomic imbalance as well as repolarization dispersion abnormalities ...
