Abstract
Calcific aortic stenosis is not the result of decades of wear and tear alone. Rather, it is being increasingly recognized as an inflammatory, atheromatous, and potentially modifiable disease. Exciting new research suggests that medical therapies may soon be available to retard its progression and reduce the need for surgery.Keywords
