AORTIC VALVE SCLEROSIS: PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDY OF HEART VALVES
Keywords:
Aortic valve sclerosis, Atherosclerosis and InflammationAbstract
One important clinical condition that often presents asymptomatically in adult populations is aortic valve sclerosis (AVS). It negatively impacts the cardiovascular system as an early stage of aortic valve stenosis and a marker for cardiovascular disease.
