Abstract

Calcified aortic valve stenosis is one of the most frequent pathology in patients over 65 years and ranks first among heart valve diseases with an increasing prevalence due to the aging of the population. In spite of the fact that recently much attention has been focused on in-depth study of molecular mechanisms of calcified aortic stenosis progression, the predictors of its progression have not been identified yet, and algorithms for preventing or inhibiting the progression of this pathology have not been developed. The review considers the main molecular and pathogenetic mechanisms, as well as the significance of clinical risk factors in the formation of this valve pathology.
