Pathogenesis and Mechanisms of Mitral Annular Calcification

Completed
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.
