In patients greater than age 65, more than 90% of aortic stenosis involves trileaflet valves which have developed heavy calcification. [5] In these instances the calcium deposits are thought to alter ...

Incidental calcification in the aorta has been commonly ignored. A 42-year-old white man with a family history of CVD (the father suffered an MI in his 50s) demonstrated calcium of the aorta on x-ray ...

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 high ...
