(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 ...

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 ...

Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has increasingly emerged as one of the primary treatments for ...

We determined genomewide associations with the presence of aortic-valve calcification (among 6942 participants) and mitral annular calcification (among 3795 participants), as detected by computed ...

There may be relationships between bone mineral density at different body locations and cardiac calcification. Sex-specific differences may exist in these relationships. Further research is needed to ...

This marks the first dedicated transcatheter heart valve approved for high-risk patients with symptomatic severe AR.

An international study led by a researcher from Tel Aviv University offers a novel technology that can assist many patients implanted with bioprosthetic heart valve by avoiding additional complicated ...
