Abstract: Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Objective: Resident valvular interstitial cells (VICs) activate to myofibroblasts during aortic valve stenosis progression, which further promotes fibrosis or even differentiate into osteoblast-like cells that can lead… read more here.
