Serum Dickkopf-1 signaling and calcium deposition in aortic valve are significantly related to the presence of concomitant coronary atherosclerosis in patients with symptomatic calcified aortic stenosis
BACKGROUND: The study aimed to assess serum RANKL:OPG ratio, Dkk-1 and deposition of calcium in aortic valve in relation to the presence of concomitant coronary atherosclerosis in patients with symptomatic calcified aortic stenosis (CAS). METHODS: OPG, soluble RANKL and Dkk-1 were measured in 218 co...
