Sex-specific differences in age-related aortic valve calcium load: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract
Aging of the aortic valve, characterized by leaflet thickening and loss of extensibility, leads to progressive changes in valve function. These age-related mechanisms have not been evaluated yet in sex-specific calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) onset and progression. Recent studies reported the association between high aortic valve calcification (AVC) load and male gender in patients with CAVS while women present faster progression than men....
