This case report highlights a potential clinical association between calcific aortic stenosis and osteoporosis in an elderly patient.
Case report of aortic stenosis with osteoporosis leaves open possible association; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
The given clinical example presents a case of concomitant diseases of the heart and axial skeleton. Calcific aortic stenosis detected by chance in an elderly male was associated with osteoporosis of the lumbar spine with moderate perturbation of the calcium–vitamin D–parathyroid hormone axis and with no classical risk factors for impaired bone mineral density. Possible approaches to pathogenetic therapy are described.
