Abstract: AIMS The association between aortic valve sclerosis (AVSc) and cardiovascular (CV) events is not consistent among different studies. We have performed a meta-analysis evaluating the association between AVSc and fatal and/or non-fatal CV and cerebrovascular… read more here.

Abstract: AIMS Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) without hemodynamically significant obstruction is related to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality independent of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, although the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. This study investigated the prevalence of AVS… read more here.

Abstract: Introduction: Impaired fibrinolysis featuring elevated tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) induces cardiovascular outcomes. Aortic valve sclerosis (AVSc) shares similar aspects of pathophysiology with atherosclerosis and correlates with adverse cardiovascular events. Hypothesis: We investigated whether endogenous t-PA… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0218492318760692
Abstract: Background Epicardial fat is a true visceral fat deposit with adverse effects through the secretion of numerous proinflammatory and proatherogenic cytokines. Previous studies showed an association between aortic valve sclerosis and coronary artery disease. The… read more here.
