Quantification of calcified particles in human valve tissue reveals asymmetry of calcific aortic valve disease development
Recent studies indicated that small calcified particles observable by scanning electron microcopy (SEM) may initiate calcification in cardiovascular tissues. We hypothesized that if the calcified particles precede gross calcification observed in calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), they would exhi...
