Does aortic valve sclerosis predicts the severity and complexity of coronary artery disease?

Aim: We assessed the association of aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) with atherosclerotic risk factors and severity and complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 482 eligible patients were divided into 2 groups: AVS present and AVS absent. All major ca...

Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 482 eligible patients were divided into 2 groups: AVS present and AVS absent. All major cardiovascular risk factors and coronary lesion characteristics were included. Results: Age was the only independent predictor of AVS. AVS was not independently associated with the number of obstructive vessels, degree of lesion obstruction and SYNTAX score. Conclusion: AVS is probably a benign marker of age-related degenerative changes in the heart independent of the severity and complexity of CAD.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0019483215000772SYNTAX scoreAortic valve sclerosisCoronary artery disease
