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 ...

Researchers have found a genetic variant that doubles the likelihood that people will have calcium deposits on their aortic valve. Such calcification, if it becomes severe, can cause narrowing or a ...

(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 ...

French researchers have developed a noninvasive ultrasound therapy to treat certain patients with aortic stenosis. In a small study published in The Lancet, they demonstrated its effectiveness.

Researchers have now proposed a molecular mechanism that links amyloid deposition in the aortic valve with degenerative calcification. They also theorize that other risk factors for CAVD, such as high ...

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 ...

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 ...

New research from KL Krems challenges existing diagnostic standards for aortic stenosis, offering fresh insights into calcification patterns that are independent of sex. Krems, Austria – (March 12, ...

(CHICAGO) –Bone-like cells similar to the cells found in the skeleton calcify in the heart's aortic valve and are responsible for the blockages that lead to the need for open-heart surgery to replace ...

THE transventricular and transaortic approaches, with visualization of the valve, to correct calcareous aortic stenosis were logical and progressive strides in the development of the surgical ...
