Circulating Lp-PLA2 is associated with high valvuloarterial impedance and low arterial compliance in patients with aortic valve bioprostheses.
Clinica Chimica Acta(2016)
摘要
•We investigated 195 patients that have undergone an aortic valve replacement with a bioprosthesis.•The mechanisms that promote a vascular/valvular calcification (higher valvuloarterial impedance) are poorly understood.•We documented that circulating Lp-PLA2 mass was independently related to a higher valvuloarterial impedance.
