Vascular calcification is a complicating factor observed in advanced atherosclerosis. This review summarises the present knowledge regarding abdominal aortic calcification.Literature review.A literature review was carried using MEDLINE and PUBMED with the search terms 'abdominal', 'aortic' and 'calcification'.

Heart Valve Calcification [PDF]
This chapter focuses on the calcification of heart valves. The extent of valve calcification may vary from mild sclerosis with no effects on valve function to the development of leaflets calcification which causes valve dysfunction. It is well known that

Arterial Calcification and Cerebral Disease: Stroke and Dementia [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is an important cause of stroke and accumulating evidence suggests the existence of a possible shared pathophysiological process that may drive aging-related disease such as cardiovascular disease, stroke and dementia.

Seawater carbonate chemistry and tropical coral calcification [PDF]
Ocean acidification typically reduces calcification in tropical marine corals but the mechanism for this process is not understood. We use skeletal boron geochemistry (B/Ca and δ11B) to reconstruct the calcification fluid DIC of corals cultured over both

A rare case of myocardial calcification secondary to acute myocarditis due to an Escherichia coli infection [PDF]
2020-11Myocardial calcification secondary to acute myocarditis is a rare but possibly life-threatening complica-tion. We report a 43-year-old woman with minimal change nephrotic syndrome who developed sepsis caused by Escherichia coli.

Determination of Pericardial Adipose Tissue Increases the Prognostic Accuracy of Coronary Artery Calcification for Future Cardiovascular Events [PDF]
Objectives: Pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) is associated with coronary artery plaque accumulation and the incidence of coronary heart disease. We evaluated the possible incremental prognostic value of PAT for future cardiovascular events.

Socioeconomic Status and Subclinical Coronary Disease in the Whitehall II Epidemiological Study [PDF]
Background: There are pronounced socioeconomic disparities in coronary heart disease, but the extent to which these primarily reflect gradients in underlying coronary artery disease severity or in the clinical manifestation of advanced disease is ...
