چکیده

introduction: aortic valve sclerosisis considered as a manifestation of coronary atherosclerosis. recent studies demonstrated an association between aortic valve sclerosis and obstructive coronary artery disease. the purpose of this study was to evaluatethe correlation betweenaortic valve sclerosis andobstructive coronary artery disease and the extent of coronary artery disease in patients hospitalized for chest pain.   materials and methods: a total of 230 consecutive patients were referred to the coronary angiography of ghaemmedical center and were subjected to transthorasic echocardiography for screening of aortic valve sclerosis and coronary risk assessment. the diagnostic value of obstructive coronary artery disease for aortic valve sclerosis was calculated. results: the patients with obstructive coronary artery disease had a higher prevalence of aortic valve sclerosis compared to those with no coronary artery disease (p< 0.05). aortic valve sclerosis was an independent predictor for obstructive coronary artery disease by multivariate analysis (p< 0.05). aortic valve sclerosis had sensitivity of 47% and specificity of 79% and positive predictor value of 92%. conclusions: aortic valve sclerosis was an independent predictor for obstructive coronary artery disease in patients with chest pain and was strongly interrelated with the extent of coronary artery disease in these patients.

Aortic Valve Sclerosis, Mitral Valve Sclerosis and Coronary Artery Disease: The hypothesis of a common pathogenesis

The aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is associated with cardiovascular event independently of the stenosis. In particular, the association with coronary artery disease (CAD) and mitral valve sclerosis (MVS) is frequent. The authors present a review of the literature on the possible pathogenetic mechanism that leads to an acute cardiovascular event in case of concomitant AVS, MVS and CAD. In particu...

Study of the correlation between ACE gene polymorphism and coronary artery disease

Introduction: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is an exopeptidase that converts Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor and releases aldosterone, and have a critical role in hypertension. In this study, ACE insertion / deletion (I/D) polymorphism and ACE activity was determined in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and normal subjects. The corr...

Relationship between aortic valve sclerosis and the extent of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography.

BACKGROUND Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is considered to be a manifestation of coronary atherosclerosis. Recent studies demonstrated an association between AVS and significant coronary artery disease (CAD). AIM We sought to determine the association between AVS and the extent of coronary atherosclerosis by means of the Gensini score system, which was calculated to yield a measure of the exten...
