Pathogenesis and Mechanisms of Mitral Annular Calcification
- Conditions
- Mitral Annulus Calcification
- Registration Number
- NCT04286009
- Lead Sponsor
- Mayo Clinic
- Brief Summary
Researchers are testing blood or mitral valve tissue to better understand the reasons why Mitral Annular Calcification (MAC) develops in patients with heart disease.
- Detailed Description
The aim is to test the hypothesis that Endothelial Progenitor Cells osteoblastic phenotype (EPC-OCNs) play a significant role in the process of Mitral Annular Calcification (MAC) as prognostic markers of calcific cardiac valves.
