Background and aim of the study: The quantification of incidentally found aortic valve calcification on |
Results: The mean calcium volume across all valves was 603.2 ± 398.5 mm3, and the mean ratio of calcium volume to total valve volume was 0.36 ± 0.16. The mean aortic valve gradient correlated positively with both calcium volume and ratio (r = 0.72, p <0.001). Vmax also correlated positively with the calcium |
