An international research team led by the Research Institute of the 香蕉视频 Health Centre (RI-MUHC) and Lund University has provided new evidence that aortic valve disease may be preventable. Their findings show that so-called 鈥渂ad鈥 cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) is a cause of aortic valve disease 鈥 a serious heart condition that affects around five million people in North America and is the most common cause for valve replacement. The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and presented at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress in Vancouver, could have major implications in the prevention of heart valve disease, a condition that currently has no known medical therapy.聽
