There is a strong association between the presence of severe aortic stenosis and the presence and severity of aortic atheromas, suggesting that aortic stenosis might be a manifestation of the atherosclerotic process. These findings imply that (1) aggressive atherosclerotic risk-factor modification for ...
Furthermore, atherosclerotic lesions in the aorto-iliac segment frequently occur in patients who are awaiting renal transplantation and become more common with increasing age and time on dialysis [4]. The success of organ transplantation depends on the quality of vascular access and anastomoses. Since...
Aortic valveAortic stenosisThere is an established sex difference in cardiovascular disease among pre-menopausal women and age-matched men, with men having greater susceptibility to cardiovascular and coronary artery disease. Cardiovascular calcification may be linked to the atherosclerotic process and ...
Parathyroid hormone and vitamin D levels are independently associated with calcific aortic stenosis. In calcific aortic valve disease, the early lesion is similar to atherosclerotic plaque, but later calcification prevails. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vi...

In the open surgery group, more patients were classified as ASA III due to atherosclerotic heart disease. Whatsoever, the predicted mortality and morbidity by POSSUM were quite similar in both groups. This is another indication for the comparability of the patient population in both groups. ...
there are few studies that delve into the mechanisms of action, the up-regulation of Klotho in these cells could be beneficial in antagonizing the progression of atherosclerotic lesions through anti-inflammatory effects. In this sense, the expression of Klotho in these cells has been related with ...
Background: Angina pectoris has been recognized as one of the principal symptoms of aortic valve stenosis (AS), even in patients without significant coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the incidence of angina pectoris and related CAD in such patients is controversial. There is continuing debate...
