Glycation and Serum Albumin Infiltration Contribute to the Structural Degeneration of Bioprosthetic Heart Valves
2020-02-15
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) are widely used to treat heart valve disease but are fundamentally limited by structural valve degeneration (SVD). Non-calcific mechanisms of SVD entirely account for approximately 30% of SVD cases and contribute to calcific SVD but remain understudied. Glycation mechanisms have not been previously associated with SVD, despite being established as degenerative...
