Lipoprotein(a) is not associated with active calcification of the aortic valve in patients with mild-to-moderate aortic stenosis, according to a study presented this week at the European ...

(UPDATED) Lipoprotein(a) is associated with the development of aortic valve calcification (AVC), but the atherogenic lipoprotein does not appear to be linked to the progression of calcification over ...

Incidental calcification in the aorta has been commonly ignored. A 42-year-old white man with a family history of CVD (the father suffered an MI in his 50s) demonstrated calcium of the aorta on x-ray ...

Aortic calcification may lead to arterial degradation that increases the risk for acute kidney injury, according to investigators. High aortic calcification burden is a novel risk factor for acute ...

In patients greater than age 65, more than 90% of aortic stenosis involves trileaflet valves which have developed heavy calcification. [5] In these instances the calcium deposits are thought to alter ...

Aortic valve disease encompasses a spectrum of disorders affecting the aortic valve, with calcification being a hallmark of the most severe forms. Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is characterised ...

Many people around the age of 60 experience a decline in physical performance due to aortic valve stenosis. In this condition, the heart valve, which is located between the left ventricle and the ...
