Filter by:A randomized 12-month trial will include two groups of 100 individuals aged over 50 years, with asymptomatic mild to moderate Aortic valve stenosis (AVA > 1 cm2, Vmax < 4 m/s). The first group of 100 individuals will serve as the intervention group that will receive 300 mcg of K2 vitamin on a daily basis, while the second group of 100 individuals will be the control group that will receive placebo on a daily basis as well. Both groups will be monitored identically in order to investigate therapeutic effects on calcification and valve stenosis progression. Correlation with Mitral annulus and ascending Aorta.Exclusion criteria: Chronic Kidney disease, Vitamin K antagonists, statins, age < 50 y.o,prosthetic valves,Aortic Valve area (AVA) < 1cm2 ,Vmax > 4 m/s
A prospective multicenter study enrolling high surgical risk patients with severe mitral annular calcification (MAC) and symptomatic mitral valve dysfunction (severe stenosis, ≥ moderate to severe regurgitation, or mixed ≥ moderate stenosis and ≥ regurgitation). There are 2 Arms in this study: 1) "Transseptal (TS) Valve-in-MAC" (ViMAC) Arm, and 2) Natural History of Disease Registry (NHDR) for patients treated with medical treatment only (which includes patients who meet inclusion criteria but can't be treated with transeptal ViMAC due to the presence of anatomical exclusion criteria or other exclusion criteria) and have not had other procedures that may impact outcomes (i.e., alcohol septal ablation or radiofrequency ablation). The study also includes a Registry of Permanently Unassigned" for subjects who undergo preemptive septal ablation procedures (alcohol or radiofrequency) in anticipation of continuing onto ViMAC arm, but are not accepted in the ViMAC Study arm or the patient chooses not to undergo ViMAC procedure.
