Investigator-initiated study shows potential for EchoSolv AS to drive improved patient outcomes when used to support ...

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 first ever "humanized" model for aortic valve calcification paves the way for testing potential treatments.

(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 ...

The Phase 2, randomized, double-blind clinical trial included 23 patients randomized to either 200 mg ataciguat (n=12) or placebo (n=11) once daily for a 12-month period. The primary Phase 2 clinical ...

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 ...

Seattle, WA - Therapy with angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors may slow the accumulation of aortic-valve calcium (AVC) as measured by electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT), regardless of the ...

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 ...

(CHICAGO) –Bone-like cells similar to the cells found in the skeleton calcify in the heart's aortic valve and are responsible for the blockages that lead to the need for open-heart surgery to replace ...

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 ...

The endothelium lining the valve plays a critical role. It’s very important whether the valve consists of two or three leaflets. There is currently no way to stop calcification of the aortic valve. If ...
