Peripheral Vascular Calcification. [PDF]
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc BiolPeripheral artery disease commonly refers to diffuse atherothrombotic disease of the arteries supplying the legs. Peripheral artery disease has been relatively understudied and has not been subject to the same intensive scrutiny and research that characterizes coronary artery disease.

Calcimimetics and Vascular Calcification. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel)In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiovascular events (CVA) are the main cause of morbidity and mortality. Vascular calcification, linked to bone mineral metabolism disorders such as elevated serum phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and FGF23, well-known uremic toxins, aggravate this risk.

The Thermodynamics of Medial Vascular Calcification [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Medial vascular calcification (MVC) is a degenerative process that involves the deposition of calcium in the arteries, with a high prevalence in chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, and aging. Calcification is the process of precipitation largely of calcium phosphate, governed by the laws of thermodynamics that should be acknowledged in studies of ...

Osteoporosis and vascular calcifications
Endocrine Connections, 2023 In post-menopausal women, aged individuals, and patients with diabetes mellitus or chronic renal disease, bone mineral density (BMD) decreases while the vasculature accumulates arterial calcifications (ACs). AC can be found in the tunica intima and/or in the tunica media.

The role of mitochondria in vascular calcification [PDF]
Journal of Translational Internal Medicine, 2020 Abstract Vascular calcification (VC) was defined as the ectopic deposition of calcium–phosphorus complexes on the blood vessel walls. It was a process involving multiple factors and mechanisms, covering the phenotype transition of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and release of microvesicles.

Advances in CT Techniques in Vascular Calcification
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Vascular calcification, a common pathological phenomenon in atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, and other diseases, increases the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases.

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2011 Macrovascular calcification increasingly afflicts our aging and dysmetabolic population.1 Once considered only a passive process of dead and dying cells, data from multiple laboratories worldwide have converged to reveal that vascular calcification is in great part an actively regulated form of matrix mineral metabolism.2 A uniquely horrendous ...

Vascular Biology, 2022 The present study aimed to assess the role of urocortin II (UII) in the process of vascular calcification in vitro by using a calcification model, to detect the changes in the mRNA and protein levels of associated markers in rat adventitial fibroblasts ...

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 BackgroundArterial stiffness and medial vascular calcification, leading to isolated systolic blood pressure (BP), are major cardiovascular risk factors in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mineral bone disorders (MBD).

Circulation, 2008 Clinically, vascular calcification is now accepted as a valuable predictor of coronary heart disease.151 Achieving control over this process requires understanding mechanisms in the context of a tightly-controlled regulatory network, with multiple, nested feedback loops and cross-talk between organ systems, in the realm of control theory.
