Higher sirtuin 1 is linked to lower aortic valve disease risk

A genetic analysis supported an inverse association between sirtuin 1 expression and the risk of calcific aortic valve disease.A genetic analysis supported an inverse association between sirtuin 1 expression and the risk of calcific aortic valve disease.
