“…4,11,12 Serum phosphate as a cardiovascular risk factor for increased mortality in CKD patients particularly in dialysis patients. 13 For every 0.5mg/dl increase in serum phosphate, the risk of cardiac valvular calcification increases by 3.6 times in the present study suggesting that there is a significant role of serum phosphate correlation with cardiac valvular calcification in chronic kidney disease in agreement with previous literatures.…”

“…A previous study from the Jackson cohort of the ARIC Study noted an unadjusted association between elevated serum creatinine and MAC (32); however, the data were not adjusted for age, gender, cardiovascular disease, or vascular risk factors. Indeed, MAC has been reported to be more prevalent among patients who were on dialysis (5-10), but our data suggest that this relation precedes the onset of ESRD.…”

“…From population-based studies, the overall prevalence of AAC and MAC has been reported to be 28% and 13%, respectively. 14,21 The prevalence of the latter ranges from 4.6% to 15.8% in different genders and races, 22,23 up to 35% in symptomatic populations 24 and 36% in those with end-stage renal disease. 14 Notably, in the Framingham Heart Study, MAC was never found in those under the age of 40 years.…”

“…22 In a study limited to blacks, the HR associated with prevalent MAC was 2.32 for incident CHD events (defined as fatal coronary event, hospitalized myocardial infarction, or cardiac procedure). 23 The available literature on the clinical relevance of AAC is much less than for MAC. Jeon et al 41 found that hypertension was a significant risk factor for AAC, and individuals with calcification in multiple valve areas (including the AAC) had an increased risk for an abnormal myocardial perfusion scan with single photon emission computed tomography.…”
