Aortic Valve Sclerosis and Clinical Outcomes: Moving Toward a Definition

The American Journal of Medicine, 2011
The presence of aortic valve sclerosis has been suggested as a marker of increased cardiovascular risk, including increased mortality. However, it remains unclear whether aortic valve sclerosis is independently associated with risk or merely a marker of coexistent cardiovascular risk factors. Aortic valve sclerosis is usually diagnosed on transthoracic

Aortic valve replacement in systemic sclerosis

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015
Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease of the connective tissue, which can involve the cardiac valves, the mitral valve being more frequently affected, although involvement of the aortic valve has been rarely described.

Progression of aortic valve sclerosis to aortic stenosis

level or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. Itwould be interesting to know the effects of thesefactors on severe calcific AS.In summary, this large case-control study showsthat the development of severe AS caused by thecalcific degenerative process is not simply a conse-quence of aging.

Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity in Subjects with Aortic Valve Sclerosis

Echocardiography, 2008
Background: Aortic stiffness is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events and mortality. The measurement of pulse‐wave velocity (PWV) is the most simple, noninvasive, and robust method to determine aortic stiffness. Whether aortic stiffness contributes to aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) remains unknown.

Statin treatment of hypercholesterolemic-induced aortic valve sclerosis

Cardiovascular Pathology, 2011
Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is a common inflammatory heart valve disease prevalent in the population over the age of 65 years. Several published clinical and animal studies have examined the ability of statin treatment to modify disease progression. Clinical trials yielded conflicting results, and animal studies examined the effects of statins prior ...

Fulminant diffuse systemic sclerosis following aortic valve replacement

Medical Hypotheses, 2014
We 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 ...

Echocardiographic progression of calcific aortic valve disease in patients with preexisting aortic valve sclerosis

2022
AbstractObjectiveWe aimed to evaluate echocardiographic parameters to predict CAVD progression.BackgroundCalcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) ranges from aortic valve sclerosis (ASc) with no functional impairment of the aortic valve to severe aortic stenosis (AS).

Systemic sclerosis and aortic valve stenosis: therapeutic implications in two cases of aortic valve replacement

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2009
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 as a marker of active atherosclerosis

Current Cardiology Reports, 2002
Aortic sclerosis is a calcific disease of the aortic valvular leaflets defined as focal leaflet thickening without significant obstruction to left ventricular outflow. Several clinical factors are associated with calcific aortic valve disease, including male sex, smoking, hypertension, age, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes. Histologic and biochemical
