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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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.
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 ...
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 ...

Hemolysis a Growing Concern With Newer Sapien TAVR Device
Since it went on the market, the newer device has been the subject of several reports of hemolysis. This would seem ...
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, ...
Aortic valve calcification--the buildup of calcium on heart valves--was once thought to be harmless but is now seen as an early sign of heart disease. In a study presented at RSNA 2011, researchers ...
Aortic stenosis, a common yet often overlooked heart condition in seniors, can cause symptoms like breathlessness, dizziness, ...
