- Lipoprotein (a) is implicated in the pathogenesis of both aortic stenosis and atherosclerosis. (msdmanuals.com)
Inflammation2
- Persistence of aortic inflammation also contributes to the apoptosis of SMCs along with medial degradation and ultimately increases the risk of intimal disruption ( 6 , 9 ). (frontiersin.org)
- Lipid deposition and inflammation lead to thickening of aortic valve structures by fibrosis and calcification initially without causing significant obstruction. (msdmanuals.com)
