Prosthetic Aortic Valve Stenosis in End-Stage Renal Failure
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.

Early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in workers: role of standard and advanced echocardiography [PDF]
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality and consequently early diagnosis is of paramount importance. Working conditions can be regarded as an additional risk factor for CVD. Since different aspects of the job

Aortic Valve Stenosis and Mitochondrial Dysfunctions: Clinical and Molecular Perspectives
Calcific aortic stenosis is a disorder that impacts the physiology of heart valves. Fibrocalcific events progress in conjunction with thickening of the valve leaflets. Over the years, these events promote stenosis and obstruction of blood flow. Known and
