Aortic valve calcium progression

Age was not clearly linked with aortic valve calcium progression in humans within baseline AVC categories of 1-99 and ≥100 (10 vs. 12 AU/year, P = 0.303; 50 vs. 47 AU/year, P = 0.846).

“Participants <65 and ≥65 years had no significant difference in median annualized AVC progression within the baseline AVC categories of 1-99 (10 vs. 12 AU/year, P = 0.303) and AVC ≥100 (50 vs. 47 AU/year, P = 0.846).”
