ABSTRACT
Calcified aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the most common valvular heart diseases worldwide, characterized by progressive fibrocalcific remodeling and thickening of the leaflets, which ultimately leads to obstruction of blood flow. Its pathobiology is an active and complicated process, involving endothelial cell dysfunction, lipoprotein deposition and oxidation, chronic inflammation, phenotypic transformation of valve interstitial cells, neovascularization, and intravalvular hemorrhage. To date, no targeted drug has been proven to slow down or prevent disease progression. Aortic valve replacement is still the optimal treatment of AS. This article reviews the etiology, diagnosis, and management of calcified aortic stenosis and proposes novel potential therapeutic targets.
