The human body has sophisticated defenses against the deposition of calcium minerals that stiffen heart tissues, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and collaborators at ...

Promising Tissue Valve Tech Blocks Calcium Buildup — Zero structural valve deterioration at 5 Years in the COMMENCE study by Nicole Lou , Staff Writer, MedPage Today February 1, 2021 ...

Calcium is a mineral that flows through your blood. Over time as blood pumps in and out of your heart small deposits of calcium can start to build up on the flaps on the valves in the heart. For some ...

A 2016 study by the Journal of the American Heart Association involving over 5,000 adults found that those who got the most calcium from food had a lower risk of heart problems.

When the Rolling Stone's Mick Jagger underwent heart valve replacement surgery in New York recently, according to media reports the doctor in France who invented the technique took a modest bow.

Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) is a form of arthritis characterised by the accumulation of calcium pyrophosphate crystals within the joint cartilage and surrounding tissues.

In a first-of-its-kind genome-wide association study (GWAS) researchers have discovered two genes, RNF144B and ENPP1, that cause calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease in Americans of ...
