Fibroblasts and Their Pathological Functions in the Fibrosis of Aortic Valve Sclerosis and Atherosclerosis. [PDF]

Biomolecules, 2019
Cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) are driven by inflammation induced by a variety of stimuli, including low-density lipoproteins (LDL), reactive oxygen species (ROS), infections, mechanical stress, and chemical insults.

Transcatheter versus surgical aortic-valve replacement in high-risk patients. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: The use of transcatheter aortic-valve replacement has been shown to reduce mortality among high-risk patients with aortic stenosis who are not candidates for surgical replacement.

Statins Have No Role in Preventing the Progression of Aortic Valve Sclerosis. [PDF]

J Cardiovasc Imaging, 2018
Statins are thought to have little effect on the progression of aortic stenosis, but the data on their role in patients with aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) are limited and inconsistent.We retrospectively analyzed 541 consecutive patients (214 men, age: 70 ± 11 years) with AVS. Each patient underwent two or more electrocardiography examinations at least 6

Validation of the severity index by cardiac catheterization and Doppler echocardiography in patients with aortic sclerosis and stenosis

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2006
The severity index is a new echocardiographic measure that is thought to be an accurate indicator of aortic leaflet pathology in patients with AS. However, it has not been validated against cardiac catheterization or Doppler echocardiographic measures of

Local versus general anesthesia for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR)- systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2014
The hypothesis of this study was that local anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care (MAC) is not harmful in comparison to general anesthesia (GA) for patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVR).TAVR is a rapidly spreading ...

Aortic Valve Sclerosis, Mitral Valve Sclerosis and Coronary Artery Disease: The hypothesis of a common pathogenesis

, 2014
The aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is associated with cardiovascular event independently of the stenosis. In particular, the association with coronary artery disease (CAD) and mitral valve sclerosis (MVS) is frequent. The authors present a review of the literature on the possible pathogenetic mechanism that leads to an acute cardiovascular event in case ...
