There is currently no way to stop calcification of the aortic valve. If all else fails, the valve must be replaced. To better ...

Valvular aortic stenosis is typically due to degenerative calcification, postinflammatory fibrocalcific disease (i.e., rheumatic heart disease), or a congenitally bicuspid valve. Calcification is ...

Aortic stenosis may be due to r... Over the past 15 years, the increasing use of echocardiography has dramatically changed our understanding of the prevalence and progression of aortic-valve stenosis.

Aortic valve stenosis can happen due to calcium buildup (calcification) or scarring of the aortic valve. Aortic valve stenosis may occur in as many as 20% of older adults, according to the ...

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 ...

A novel therapeutic showed significant promise in slowing aortic valve calcification, potentially extending time until or eliminating need for transcatheter or surgical intervention for stenosis ...

Patients with severe aortic stenosis at low surgical risk who underwent supra-annular, self-expanding Evolut transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) had similar rates of death or disabling ...

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 ...

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, ...
