Advances in Calcific Aortic Valve Disease Research

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is one of the most common forms of valve disease. It has become the most widespread cardiac valve disease in the economically advanced nations. Population ageing is one of the major reasons for this increasing rate. There is no definite treatment which may slow down the disease progression; valve replacement is the only adequate treatment. This book provides comprehensive information on bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease and discusses various therapeutic measures. This book will facilitate people to know about CAVD and other aspects concerning valve biology. It also emphasizes on the prospective chances of curbing the disease from rising in future.
