Background: Accelerated arterial aging and inadequate outward arterial remodeling are observed in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Whether these changes could be closely associated with arterial calcifications has never been investigated. Methods: 155 ESRD patients and 105 age-, sex-, and blo...
“…When vascular calcification is present, stenotic disease cannot be detected by the ABI. ….Unmet Needs: Fields of Research For The Future…..Further research should explore potentially easier and faster alternative methods for ABI measurement that would likely be implemented more broadly in prima...
Relationship between arterial vascular calcifications seen on screening mammograms and biochemical markers of endothelial injury: Pidal D, Sánchez Vidal MT, Rodríguez JC, et al (Hospital de Jove, Gijón, Spain; et al) Eur J Radiol 69:87-92, 2009...

Vascular calcification of the coronary arteries or aorta is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular outcome, but clinical significance of arterial micro-calcification (AMC) of vascular access is unclear in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Sixty-five patients awaiting vascular access operation were enrolle...
Disorders of mineral metabolism, including secondary hyperparathyroidism, are thought to contribute to extraskeletal (including vascular) calcification amo...

Recent studies have shown that arterial calcification and atherosclerosis are chronic inflammatory diseases.[20] Among the risk factors that can stimulate vascular endothelial dysfunction, denaturation of macrophages and endothelial surfaces, followed by the deposition of low-density lipoprotein, initiates the...

β-thalassemia patients have been shown to present a high preva lence of angioid streaks and skin lesions characteristic of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). Given the fact that vascular involvement in the form of arterial calcifications is also a common manifestation of PXE, the authors investigated...
These natural resident progenitor cells are potential novel targets for mobilization to repair SMC defects that accompany degenerative diseases of the artery wall, including aneurysms, medial dissections, fibrosis, and progressive medial calcification (36–38). Since the adventitia forms the outer layer ...
