Computed tomography (CT)-based measures of calcification in the abdominal aorta are strong predictors of heart attacks and other adverse cardiovascular events—stronger even than the widely used ...

Evidence supporting aortic calcification as a leverageable cardiovascular risk factor is rapidly growing. Given aortic calcification’s potential as a clinical correlate, we assessed granular vertebral ...

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 ...

Changes Clinical Practice: Calcium exposure in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis should be limited unless the turnover of the bone is known to be active, in accordance with ...

Vascular calcification, an ectopic calcification exacerbated by aging and renal dysfunction, is closely associated with cardiovascular disease. However, early detection indicators are limited. This ...

(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 ...

Oral calcium supplementation was associated with lower survival and a greater need for aortic valve replacement in elderly patients with mild to moderate aortic stenosis, a new study finds. "Our ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Older patients and those with chronic kidney disease who have abdominal aortic calcification are at elevated ...

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 ...

Recent research from Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences (KL Krems) provides important new insights into how aortic valve size is associated with the degree of valve calcification in severe ...

OAK BROOK, Ill. - Computed tomography (CT)-based measures of calcification in the abdominal aorta are strong predictors of heart attacks and other adverse cardiovascular events--stronger even than the ...
