[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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Conclusions Currently available data do not support the use of statins to improve outcomes and to reduce disease progression in non-rheumatic calcific aortic valve stenosis. The meta-analysis used ...

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 ...

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 ...
