Atherosclerosis has been implicated as a cause of valvular calcification. The aim of this study was to determine whether atherosclerotic calcification in multiple vascular areas is significantly associated with aortic or mitral annular calcification independent of traditional risk factors. A total of 1242 ...

Objective: To determine whether there is an association between the presence of aortic valve calcification(AVC) and carotid artery atherosclerotic disease. Methods: 214 patients with AVC diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography underwent carotid artery ultrasound at the same time. They were compared with...

Most AAAs are nonspecific, meaning there is no known cause.10A few aneurysms have a clear etiology and are secondary to other diseases, such as atherosclerotic disease, trauma, connective tissue disease (Marfan Syndrome, Ehlers‒Danlos Type IV), infectious disease (tuberculosis, syphilis, bacteria...

On MR angiography, the penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer is recognized readily as a contrast-filled outpouching with a jagged edge (Fig. 12). The disadvantage of MR imaging, compared with CT, is its inability to visualize dislodgment of intimal calcification, frequently seen in penetrating ...
