Osteoprotegerin inhibits aortic valve calcification and preserves valve function in hypercholesterolemic mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
There are no rigorously confirmed effective medical therapies for calcific aortic stenosis. Hypercholesterolemic Ldlr (-/-) Apob (100/100) mice develop calcific aortic stenosis and valvular cardiomyopathy in old age.

IL6 gene polymorphism association with calcific aortic valve stenosis and influence on serum levels of interleukin-6

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Aortic valve stenosis is the most frequent valve disease in developed countries and its prevalence will increase with population aging. There is still no pharmaceutical treatment nor biomarker to determine the susceptibility to develop aortic stenosis ...

Prosthetic Aortic Valve Stenosis in End-Stage Renal Failure

International Journal of Nephrology, 2011
Although renal failure is one of the known comorbidities associated with rapid progression of aortic stenosis, it is unclear whether hemodialysis alters the progression of prosthetic aortic valve stenosis.

The effect of statins therapy in aortic stenosis: Meta-analysis comparison data of RCTs and observationals

Data in Brief, 2016
Aortic stenosis has been shown to share the same risk factors as atherosclerosis which suggested a potential benefit from statins therapy. Fourteen studies which provided the effect of statins treatment on aortic stenosis (AS) were meta-analyzed ...

Epidemiology and cardiovascular risk factors of aortic stenosis

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2006
The abnormalities of aortic valve morphology and function represent the most common cardiac-valve lesion particularly in elderly. The etiology of aortic stenosis is degenerative-calcific in the majority of patients.

C-reactive protein in degenerative aortic valve stenosis

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2006
Degenerative aortic valve stenosis includes a range of disorder severity from mild leaflet thickening without valve obstruction, "aortic sclerosis", to severe calcified aortic stenosis.

Unusual association of aortic valve stenosis with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary atresia: Differentiation from truncus arteriosus with truncal valve stenosis

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2013
Stenosis of systemic semilunar valve in cyanotic congenital heart defects is rare. It can happen in truncus arteriosus with truncal valve stenosis and the very rare anomaly of tetralogy of fallot with aortic valve stenosis.
