Calcification of the heart and great vessels is secondary to those diseases which cause a significant alteration of tissue matrix. Metabolic derangements can cause microscopic calcification of heart muscle, but this has not been demonstrated conclusively roentgenographically. The deposition of calcium may...
Calcification of the heart and vessels in fetuses is a rare condition. It may be dystrophic or metastatic. An extremely rare form of vascular calcification has been termed ‘idiopathic arterial calcification of infancy’, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. We report four c...
Calcification of the heart, vessels and kidneys in experimental magnesium deficiency. Deprivation of magnesium induced signs of tetany in young dogs in 6 or 7 weeks. At that time 4 or 5 intravenous injections of CaCl2 were given to 3 Mg-defi... I Syllm-Rapoport,I Strassburger - 《Klinische...
Calcification is the deposition of calcium into the neointima (within atherosclerotic plaque) and/or the tunica media (the medial smooth muscle layer) of the blood vessels, and can occur with conditions such as atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease and diabetes mellitus. Vascular calcification results...
Calcification of non-osseous tissues such as heart valves or vessels is a major concern in clinical practice. The exact mechanism is still unknown. Numerous studies have shown that mineral deposits of crystalline hydroxyapatite within these tissues were associated with increased non-collagenous protein ...
Calcification of vessels reduces their elasticity, affecting hemodynamic parameters of the cardiovascular system. The development of arterial hypertension,...

Ectopic calcificationsare often damaging in soft tissues such as vessels, heart valves, lungs, kidney, and brain. This is often taken for granted as an age-dependent process, but recent data suggest that a myriad of molecules might modulate this process in an active fashion (Nitschke & Rutsch...
The arterial changes associated with Buerger's disease are dramatic and distinct, characterized by total luminal obliteration and marked undulation, multiplication, and deli- cate linear calcification of the internal elastic lamina in small- and medium-sized vessels of the extremi- ties. These changes...
Coronary artery calcification existed in 17 of the 21 patients with atherosclerotic coronary artery ectasia (81.0%). The mean LN was significantly lower in vessels with diffuse ectasia than in those with discrete ectasia (1.22±1.79 vs 2.86±1.85, P0.05). Conclusion Coronary artery calcification ...
