Article Synopsis
- Aortic valve calcification (AVC) was studied in patients with bioprosthetic valves to assess its impact on patient prognosis.
- In a study of 361 patients who had valve replacements, AVC was found to be significantly higher in those with structural valve degeneration (SVD).
- The results indicate that AVC greater than 100 Agatston units is correlated with worse health outcomes and increased risk of mortality and cardiovascular events, making CT scans a valuable tool for evaluation.
