Vascular calcifications constitute an important risk factor for mortality in chronic kidney disease patients. A better knowledge of physiopathologic phenomena responsible for vascular mineralization leads to emerging biological markers of... more
The consequences of atherosclerosis can be detected by multislice computed tomography (MSCT), invasive coronary angiogram (CAG) and the resultant myocardial ischaemia by myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography... more
In the present study, we examined the expression of regulators of bone formation and osteoclastogenesis in human atherosclerosis because accumulating evidence suggests that atherosclerotic calcification shares features with bone... more
Objectives: We aimed to assess arterial stiffness parameters and to investigate the relationship between these parameters and aortic calcification in patients with aortic arch calcification and without symptomatic atherosclerotic disease.... more
Vascular calcifications represent a severe complication of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5. The factors influencing the development of this complication are in close relation with the... more
When fed high fat diets, male LDLR-/- mice develop obesity, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, and arteriosclerotic calcification. An osteogenic Msx-Wnt regulatory program is concomitantly upregulated in the vasculature. To better understand... more
This study sought to determine the frequency and impact of coronary calcification among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Small studies in patients with stable coronary artery... more
To investigate the association between regular coffee consumption and the prevalence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) in a large sample of young and middle-aged asymptomatic men and women. This cross-sectional study included 25 138 men... more
Recent advances in our understanding of the excess mortality of chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to cardiovascular complications, obtained through observational studies, demonstrate that vascular calcification and hyperphosphatemia are... more
In past decades, extraosseous (including cardiovascular) calcification was predominantly regarded as a passive process of limited pathophysiological significance. It was thought that a calcium (Ca) x phosphate (P) product in excess of Ca... more
