[1,6] The available data suggests that the statins could have the potential to attenuate progression of calcific aortic stenosis. The pathophysiologic changes caused by a calcified aortic valve ...

Aortic stenosis is a disease often diagnosed in its asymptomatic phase due to its distinct murmur and the widespread use of noninvasive imaging. The history, however, is still of paramount ...

The clinical features and investigations suggested a tear of the quadriceps tendon, with pre-existing chronic calcific enthesopathy. The operative findings were of an acute collection of calcific ...

2 This pattern of presentation has important implications for patient management. So-called ‘degenerative’ calcific AS is by far the most common cause of AS in Western countries, particularly in the ...

Introduction Rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy (RCCT) involves calcific deposits in the rotator cuff. Non-surgical interventions such as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and ultrasound-guided ...

Calcific tendonitis of the quadriceps tendon is an uncommon condition. We present the first case of a quadriceps tendon tear associated with calcific tendonitis. In this case, the patient presented ...

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiological response of chronic calcific tendinitis of the shoulder to extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in a single blind study. Methods: 70 patients ...

Objective Steroid injections are common after an ultrasound-guided puncture and lavage (UGPL) of calcific tendonitis of the rotator cuff. However, steroids may prevent calcification resorption and ...

Statins did not significantly affect the progression over time of peak and mean aortic gradient. Conclusions Currently available data do not support the use of statins to improve outcomes and to ...

This is true for patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia and those with claudication. The calcific process crosses TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus classifications and confounds all the ...
