Heart valve sclerosis predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality

Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) and mitral annulus calcification (MAC) might predict future adverse events. We undertook the present study to investigate the association of AVS and MAC with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. We further studied whether a combined presence of AVS and MAC is more str...
