Bone metabolism and vascular calcification [PDF]
Osteoporosis and atherosclerosis are chronic degenerative diseases which have been considered to be independent and whose common characteristic is increasing incidence with age. At present, growing evidence indicates the existence of a correlation between cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis, irrespective of age.

MicroRNAs Regulate Vascular Medial Calcification [PDF]
Vascular calcification is highly prevalent in patients with coronary artery disease and, when present, is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events, including an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality.

Should vascular wall F-18-FDG uptake be adjusted for the extent of atherosclerotic burden? [PDF]
Vascular wall 18F-FDG uptake is often used as a surrogate marker of atherosclerotic plaque inflammation. A potential caveat is that vascular wall 18F-FDG uptake is higher simply because more atherosclerosis is present.

Circulating microRNAs and vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients
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.

Association Between Homocysteine and Vascular Calcification Incidence, Prevalence, and Progression in the MESA Cohort. [PDF]
Background While elevated homocysteine has been associated with calcification in several studies, its importance as a cardiovascular risk factor remains unclear.

Background: Vascular calcification during aging is highly prevalent in patients with cardiovascular disease; however, there is still no improvement in clarifying the development of vascular calcification.

Associations of Perirenal Fat Thickness with Renal and Systemic Calcified Atherosclerosis. [PDF]
BackgroundWe investigated associations between perirenal fat thickness and atherosclerotic calcification in six different vascular beds.MethodsUsing a community-based cohort (n=3,919), perirenal fat thickness was estimated from computed tomography scans.

Evaluation of Peripheral Vascular Calcification and Serum Magnesium Level in a Group of Egyptian Hemodialysis Patients [PDF]
Introduction: Vascular calcification is a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality in the general population. It is highly prevalent in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.

BACKGROUND: Vascular calcification contributes greatly to the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Previously, vascular calcification was considered as a passive process caused by the mineral deposition from the circulation.
