Trace elements in patients with aortic valve sclerosis [PDF]

Therapeutic Advances in Cardiovascular Disease, 2021
Background: Aortic valve sclerosis (AVSc) is defined as the thickening and calcification of aortic valve cusps, in the absence of obstruction of ventricular outflow. AVSc is linked with a clear imbalance in some trace elements.

Echocardiographic Progression of Calcific Aortic Valve Disease in Patients with Preexisting Aortic Valve Sclerosis

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Background: We aimed to evaluate echocardiographic parameters to predict calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) progression. CAVD ranges from aortic valve sclerosis (ASc) with no functional impairment of the aortic valve to severe aortic stenosis (AS).

Is there a role of statins in the prevention of aortic biological prostheses degeneration [PDF]

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2006
It has been recently observed that statins might slow the progression of aortic stenosis or sclerosis. Preliminary reports suggested a similar positive effect in reducing the degeneration of aortic valve bioprostheses even though this hypothesis should ...

Aortic Valve Sclerosis in High-Risk Coronary Artery Disease Patients [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Current knowledge regarding the relationship between aortic valve sclerosis (AVSc), cardiovascular risk factors, and mortality in patients with known coronary artery disease (CAD) is still unclear. The present study aimed at investigating the

Association between Aortic Valve Sclerosis and Adverse Cardiovascular Events

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2015
As established in international guidelines, aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is defined as an increased thickness and hardening of the aortic leaflets with no commissural fusion 1. One of the pioneers in the study of aortic sclerosis was Catherine Otto, who conducted several studies on this topic and verified the association between AVS and various ...

Extent of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients With Stenotic Bicuspid Versus Tricuspid Aortic Valves

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac malformation, which is often complicated by aortic valve stenosis (AoS). In tricuspid aortic valve (TAV), AoS strongly associates with coronary artery disease (CAD) with common ...

Optical coherence tomography and multiphoton microscopy offer new options for the quantification of fibrotic aortic valve disease in ApoE−/− mice

Scientific Reports, 2021
Aortic valve sclerosis is characterized as the thickening of the aortic valve without obstruction of the left ventricular outflow. It has a prevalence of 30% in people over 65 years old.

Study of Aortic Valve Sclerosis as A Marker of Atherosclerosis in Acute Coronary Syndromes [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Aortic valve sclerosis has been shown to be associated with increased incidence, chances of developing myocardial infarction and even death. The epidemiological risk factors causing calcification of aortic valves have also been found to
