      Aortic insufficiency (AI) due to fibrosis and thickening of the nodules of Arantius in the otherwise normal aortic valve was found in 11 adults (age range, 41 to 65 years) between 1976 and 1988. Nine had concomitant mitral stenosis; 2 had coronary artery disease.


    • Biomarkers of Calcific Aortic Valve Disease

      alcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a common cardio-vascular disorder affecting up to 13% of the US popula-tion,1 which is characterized by thickening and calcification of the aortic valve in the absence of rheumatic heart disease.2 Aortic stenosis (AS) represents the clinical manifestation of

      degree of valve calcification is a predictor of clinical outcome.4,7 Rheumatic AS is characterized by commisural fusion, resulting in a triangular systolic orifice, with thickening and calcification most prominent along the edges of the cusps. Rheumatic disease nearly always affects the mitral valve first, so that rheumatic aortic valve
