The molecular biology and pathophysiology of vascular calcification.

Postgraduate medicine - 1 Mar 2014

McCarty Mark F, DiNicolantonio James J

Abstract excerpt

Vascular calcification (VC), commonly encountered in renal failure, diabetes, and aging, is associated with a large increase in the risk for cardiovascular events and mortality. Calcification of the arterial media and of heart valves clearly plays a mediating role in this regard, whereas it is less clear how calcification of plaque influences atherogenesis and risk for plaque rupture. Vascular calcification is an...
