A retrospective review of more than 24,000 patients who underwent an EKG at Mayo Clinic finds that nearly one-quarter of the patients had mitral annulus calcification, a chronic degeneration of tissue ...

A new study published suggests that the connection between coronary artery calcification—a measure of calcium buildup in the ...

Potent, selective ABCC6-targeting positive functional modulator (PFM) improved multiple markers of renal function in animal models of chronic kidney disease (CKD) PFM improved inorganic pyrophosphate ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich and ETH spin-off Inositec have developed a new substance to prevent vascular calcification, which affects many patients suffering from chronic kidney disease. As their ...

In the hemodialysis population, cardiovascular calcifications result from excess phosphate and calcium, as well as reduced activity of inhibitors of calcification, such as matrix Gla protein. Vitamin ...

The ionic and metabolic impairment observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to vascular calcification, which can induce cardiovascular events and mortality. Several factors may impact the ...

Logistic regression is the most cost-effective model for medial vascular calcification classification, with a mean ICER of $278 using five low-cost features. Despite similar diagnostic accuracy, ...

Coronary artery disease characterized by vascular calcification poses significant challenges in the field of interventional cardiology. Technological ...

Vascular calcification is a common condition that has been shown to increase the risk of major cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks, strokes, or blood clots, and can lead to limb amputations.

There may be relationships between bone mineral density at different body locations and cardiac calcification. Sex-specific differences may exist in these relationships. Further research is needed to ...
