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.

Aortic Valve Sclerosis and Degenerative Valve Disease in a Nigerian Population: An Echocardiographic Study [PDF]

Global Heart
Background: The burden of degenerative valve disease is increasing globally because of population aging. However, data on this condition is scarce in Nigeria and across Africa.

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

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).

Pro-Calcifying Role of Enzymatically Modified LDL (eLDL) in Aortic Valve Sclerosis via Induction of IL-6 and IL-33 [PDF]

Biomolecules, 2023
One of the contributors to atherogenesis is enzymatically modified LDL (eLDL). eLDL was detected in all stages of aortic valve sclerosis and was demonstrated to trigger the activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), which has been ...

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

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

Body mass index and waist-hip ratio – Risk factors for aortic valve disease: The atherosclerosis risk in communities (ARIC) study [PDF]

American Journal of Preventive Cardiology
Background: Elevated body mass index (BMI) has been associated with increased risk of aortic valve stenosis (AS) in observational and Mendelian randomization studies; however, its association, and that of waist-hip ratio (WHR), with aortic valve ...

Matrix metalloproteinase activation and TNF upregulation characterize the sclerotic phase of aortic valve disease [PDF]

British Journal of Biomedical Science
IntroductionAortic valve sclerosis (AVSc) is an active pathological process driven by extracellular matrix remodeling, consistent with a potentially reversible early stage of aortic valve disease.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study of 168 participants ...

Osteopontin-expressing valvular interstitial cell subpopulation as a driver of extracellular matrix remodeling in aortic valve disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
IntroductionAortic valve disease (AVD) is a cardiovascular disorder highly prevalent in the elderly population. Aortic valve leaflets suffer hardening due to extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and subsequent calcification, leading to impaired blood ...

Contemporary Management of Aortic Stenosis: Timing of Intervention and Lifetime Valve Management. [PDF]

Eur J Clin Invest
As transcatheter treatment expands to younger and lower‐risk patients, aortic stenosis management is evolving from a single procedure to lifelong valve care. This review highlights the key challenges across the patient journey, from timely diagnosis and optimal intervention to durable valve performance, long‐term surveillance, and repeat intervention ...
