Aortic valve calcification in chronic kidney disease [PDF]

open access: yesNephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2013
Several clinical studies reported an increased prevalence and accelerated progression of aortic valve calcification among patients with end-stage renal disease when compared with subjects with normal kidney function. Recently, mechanisms of calcific valve degeneration have been further elucidated and many of the pathways involved could be amplified in ...

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

open access: yes, 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.

Health Behaviors and Calcific Aortic Valve Disease [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association, 2018
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the most common form of valvular heart disease worldwide and is associated with increased mortality across the spectrum of severity of disease.[1][1] The 1‐year mortality rates among individuals with untreated severe symptomatic aortic stenosis nears 50 ...

Inhibition of miR-101-3p prevents human aortic valve interstitial cell calcification through regulation of CDH11/SOX9 expression

open access: yesMolecular Medicine, 2023
Background Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the second leading cause of adult heart diseases. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether miR-101-3p plays a role in the human aortic valve interstitial cells (HAVICs) calcification and the ...

Role of follistatin-like 1 levels and functions in calcific aortic stenosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundCalcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a progressive disease resulting in severe calcific aortic stenosis (AS), and there is increasing interest in the discovery of novel biomarkers to identify patients with potential future calcific AS at an ...

Molecular imaging of calcific aortic valve disease [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2018
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) can progress to symptomatic aortic stenosis in a subset of patients. The severity of aortic stenosis and the extent of valvular calcification can be evaluated readily by echocardiography, CT, and MRI using well-established imaging protocols. However, these techniques fail to address optimally other important aspects

Lipoprotein(a) Gene Polymorphism Increases a Risk Factor for Aortic Valve Calcification

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2019
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a multifactorial condition. Both environmental and genetic factors play an important role in its etiology. CAVD exhibits a broad spectrum, varying from mild valve thickening to severe valve calcification and ...
