The book covers the basic science and clinical aspects of
cardiovascular calcification and bone mineralization.
Cardiovascular calcification is the leading predictor of
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, with a predictive value
more significant than blood lipid levels. The presence of calcific
mineral in cardiovascular tissues alters biomechanical performance,
increasing workload on the heart and potentiating atherosclerotic
plaque rupture and subsequent heart attack and stroke. This book
examines the role of calcification in cardiovascular disease
covering topics such as calcification in the atherosclerotic
plaques and aortic valves arteries and valves, aortic valve
replacement, peripheral artery disease, imaging of early
calcification and target discovery. In addition, various forms of
ectopic calcification as well as mechanisms of bone mineralization
are discussed. Cardiovascular Calcification and Bone Mineralization
is an essential resource for clinicians, researchers, and other
medical professionals in cardiology, pathology, and biomedical
engineering.
