Aims: Previous studies have shown that aortic valve calcification (AVC) was associated with
cardio-vascular events and mortality. On the other hand, periprocedural myocardial injury …

Background Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is a common progressive condition that involves
several inflammatory and atherosclerotic mediators. However, it is unclear whether the …

Background Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk
in the general population. We sought to investigate whether AVC identified by transthoracic …

Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is correlated with atherosclerotic risk factors; however, its
significance remains largely unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate whether AVC …

Background: Aortic valve calcification without obstruction (AVC) is common in the elderly
and is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. We hypothesized …

Methods: Between July 2007 and November 2007, a total of 235 patients with chest pain or
chest distress were admitted to the authors' institution for coronary angiography. The severity …

Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is recognized as a manifestation of systemic arteriosclerosis.
However, it is unclear whether AVC is associated with myocardial ischemia. Stress …

Aim To investigate the prevalence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in symptomatic
individuals with CT evidence for left heart valve calcification, aortic valve (AVC), mitral valve …

Introduction Aortic valve calcification (AVC) has been associated with major adverse
cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. We sought to develop and validate a method …

To assess aortic valve calcification (AVC) and aortic root calcification (ARC) and to examine
their usefulness for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). This …
