Impact of aortic valve calcification, as measured by MDCT, on survival in patients with aortic stenosis: results of an international registry study

Aortic valve calcification (AVC) load measures lesion severity in aortic stenosis (AS) and is useful for diagnostic purposes. Whether AVC predicts survival after diagnosis, independent of clinical and Doppler echocardiographic AS characteristics, has not been studied. This study evaluated the impact...
