Is the apoE4 allele associated with calcific valvular heart disease?
The apoE4 allele is associated with calcific aortic stenosis, extending its known importance beyond atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease.
These findings support extension of the importance of the apoE4 allele beyond atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease to calcific AS.
Novaro et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
