Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2011 More than a century ago, Monckeberg1 was among the first to note that ectopic calcification may arise in the vasculature. Although this original description was of a specific form of sclerosing calcification that largely affects the vascular medial layer, we have since gone on to appreciate that generalized vascular calcification is a pervasive and ...

Coffee consumption and coronary calcification: The Rotterdam coronary calcification study [PDF]
, 2008 BACKGROUND - The role of coffee in the cardiovascular system is not yet clear. We examined the relation of coffee intake with coronary calcification in a population-based cohort.

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.

The impact of vascular calcification on ambulatory and central aortic blood pressure in a South African dwelling dialysis population : a clinical, radiological and pathophysiological study of vascular health in a young prevalent dialysis population in a developing country [PDF]
, 2011 Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.In Sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence of vascular calcification (VC) in CKD-5D is unknown. We undertook to determine the effect of ethnicity on VC, the risk factors for VC, the utility of abdominal X ...

Vascular Calcification Mechanisms [PDF]
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2004 Vascular calcification is highly correlated with cardiovascular disease mortality, especially in patients with ESRD or diabetes. In addition to the devastating effects of inappropriate biomineralization seen in cardiac valvulopathies, calciphylaxis, and idiopathic arterial calcification, vascular calcification is now recognized as a marker of ...

Circulating microRNAs and vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients
Journal of International Medical Research, 2019 Objective Vascular calcification is common in chronic dialysis patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, the role of circulating microRNAs (miRs) in vascular calcification has rarely been investigated.
