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 ...
Background Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is a disease process driven by inflammation and lipid infiltration, serving as a ...
The presence of valve calcification increases the odds of at least mild paravalvular regurgitation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), according to a study published in the August ...

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 ...
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 ...
Patients with severe aortic valve calcification had a higher time interval measured between peak left ventricular and peak aortic systolic pressure peaks, according to a study published in JAMA ...
A genetic component is believed to play an important role in valvular heart disease, but the specific genes involved have not been identified. Now an interntional group of researchers has identified ...
