Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) and mitral annular calcium (MAC) as detected by transthoracic echocardiography have been associated with atherosclerosis. Aortic root sclerosis (ARS) may have a similar association, but has not been studied. This study evaluates, by transesophageal echocardiography, the association of AVS, MAC, and ARS with aortic ...

Cardiac involvement is very frequent and underestimated in systemic sclerosis, but few reports have been published on the surgical treatment of patients with systemic sclerosis. We describe herein two cases of valve replacement because of aortic stenosis.

Aortic valve sclerosis is associated with lower serum adiponectin levels
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015The sclerotic lesions of the aortic valve share common features with atherosclerosis. An anti-inflammatory protein, adiponectin, seems to have a protective effect on the cardiovascular system. The goal of our study is to determine adiponectin levels in patients with aortic sclerosis and to compare these values with the control group with similar age ...

Aortic Valve Sclerosis in Patients with Peripheral and/or Coronary Arterial Disease
Echocardiography, 2010Background: Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is a marker of cardiovascular risk; its prevalence increases in elderly and in patients with hypertension and/or coronary arterial disease (CAD). There are no data available in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and with both CAD and PAD. Methods: To investigate the presence of AVS, 57 patients with

Fulminant diffuse systemic sclerosis following aortic valve replacement
Medical Hypotheses, 2014We present a case of fulminant diffuse systemic sclerosis (dSSc) developed after the aortic valve replacement followed by fatal congestive heart failure within the 6 months from the initial symptoms. A 61-year-old male developed rapidly progressive diffuse systemic sclerosis following aortic valve replacement due to stenosis of bicuspid aortic valve ...

It has recently been suggested that statins could slow the progression of aortic stenosis, but this hypothesis has not been validated in large series. Moreover, there is little information about the role of statin treatment in patients with aortic valve sclerosis.From our database 1988--2002, we retrospectively identified 1136 consecutive patients with

The association between CHA2DS2-VASc score and aortic valve sclerosis
Cardiovascular Journal of AfricaAntithrombotic therapy in atrial fibrillation is generally managed with the CHA2DS2-VASc score. Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is a focal thickening of the aortic valve without a restriction of motion. AVS is related to several cardiovascular risk factors.
