    Sammanfattning : The obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cp), a common human pathogen, has been associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The aetiology of non-rheumatic aortic valve sclerosis has, however, not been clarified. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Molecular mechanisms of inflammation and calcification in aortic valve stenosis

    Författare :Edit Nagy; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Sammanfattning : Aortic valve stenosis is a slowly progressive disorder with a spectrum of disease ranging from aortic sclerosis to severe destroyed valvular architecture leading to critical outflow obstruction. The diseased valve is characterized by inflammation, as an initiating event, pathological remodeling of extracellular matrix and pronounced calcification, which all eventually cause restricted leaflet mobility.

  4. 3. Heart Failure and Aortic Stenosis - Factors Influencing Prognosis and Development

    Författare :Silvana Kontogeorgos; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; heart failure; prognosis; predictive factors; aortic stenosis; obesity;

    Sammanfattning : Background: An ageing population increases the prevalence of heart failure (HF) and aortic stenosis (AS). Several studies have investigated prognosis and predictors of HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) compared to heart failure with reduced ejection frac-tion (HFrEF), with inconsistent results.
