Aortic valve sclerosis is associatedwith systemic endothelial dysfunction
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2003 We sought to examine the association between aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) and systemic endothelial manifestations of the atherosclerotic process.Clinical and experimental studies suggest that AVS is a manifestation of the atherosclerotic process. Systemic endothelial dysfunction is an early sign of the atherosclerotic process and can be assessed by ...

Valvular Aortic Stenosis: A Proteomic Insight
Clinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology, 2010 Calcified aortic valve disease is a slowly progressive disorder that ranges from mild valve thickening with no obstruction of blood flow, known as aortic sclerosis, to severe calcification with impaired leaflet motion or aortic stenosis.

In systemic sclerosis skin perfusion of hands is reduced and may predict the occurrence of new digital ulcers [PDF]
, 2017 Systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients are at high risk for the development of ischemic digital ulcers (DUs). The aim of this study was to assess in SSc patients a correlation between skin perfusion evaluated by LDPI and DUs and to evaluate the prognostic ...
