Impact of Aortic Valve Calcification and Sex on Hemodynamic Progression and Clinical Outcomes in AS

Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is the main culprit lesion of calcific aortic valve stenosis (AS) and is a strong determinant of AS severity and powerful risk factor for mortality [(1,2)][1]. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) provides accurate, reproducible quantitation of AVC. Recent
