Researchers are testing blood or mitral valve tissue to better understand the reasons why Mitral Annular Calcification (MAC) develops in patients with heart disease.
The aim is to test the hypothesis that Endothelial Progenitor Cells osteoblastic phenotype (EPC-OCNs) play a significant role in the process of Mitral Annular Calcification (MAC) as prognostic markers of calcific cardiac valves.
