Background: Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAV) is a measure of systemic arterial stiffness and has been shown to increase after aortic valve surgery. However, change in CAVI-derived pulse wave morphology has not previously been addressed. Case Study: A 72-year-old female was transferred to a large center for heart valve interventions for evaluation of her aortic stenosis. Few co-morbidities were detected on medical history, other than previous radiation treatment for breast cancer, and no signs of other concomitant cardiovascular disease. The patient was accepted for surgical aortic valve replacement due to severe aortic valve stenosis and arterial stiffness was assessed with CAVI, as part of an ongoing clinical study. The pre-operative CAVI was 4.7 which after surgery increased almost 100% to 9.35. In tandem, the slope of systolic upstroke pulse morphology captured from brachial cuffs was changed from a prolonged flattened pattern to a steeper. Conclusion: After aortic valve replacement surgery due to aortic valve stenosis, in addition to increased CAVI-derived measures of arterial stiffness, the slope of the CAVI-derived upstroke pulse wave morphology changes to a steeper slope. This finding could have implications in the future of aortic valve stenosis screening and utilization of CAVI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives The antiphospholipid syndrome is defined by antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) together with arterial and/or venous thromboembolism and/or obstetric morbidities. aPL are overrepresented in SLE and acute myocardial infarction, but it is unknown whether aPL are associated with calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) in the general population. The prevalence of aPL and other SLE-associated autoantibodies and their impact on aortic valve transcriptomics were therefore determined. Methods A total of 233 tricuspid CAVS cases (median age 74, 69% male) and an age- and sex-matched control population were included. aPL were measured as anti-cardiolipin and anti-β2Glycoprotein-I of IgG/M/A isotypes. Resilient, thickened and calcified aortic valve (AV) tissue derived from five aPL positive and five matched aPL negative CAVS patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement were analysed by microarrays. Results The prevalence of positivity for any aPL (IgG/M/A) in patients with CAVS was 6.4% (95% CI 3.6% – 10.4%: n = 233). aPL IgG was significantly more prevalent in CAVS cases vs controls (4.6% vs 0.6%, P = 0.04). AV tissue from aPL IgG/IgM-positive patients was negatively enriched in pathways related to interferon signalling. One hundred differentially expressed genes could predict local AV CAVS progression with supervised machine learning algorithms. Conclusions aPL IgG was more common in CAVS patients compared with matched controls and aPL positivity was associated with altered AV transcriptomics related to local disease progression and interferon pathways. Further studies should aim to establish aPL as a possible risk marker and/or causal factor for CAVS and could offer new precision therapeutic targets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background and Purpose: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) used to treat chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) have been associated with cardiovascular side effects, including reports of calcific aortic valve stenosis. The aim of this study was to establish the effects of first and second generation TKIs in aortic valve stenosis and to determine the associated molecular mechanisms.Experimental Approach: Hyperlipidemic APOE*3Leiden.CETP transgenic mice were treated with nilotinib, imatinib or vehicle. Human valvular interstitial cells (VICs) were isolated and studied in vitro. Gene expression analysis was perfromed in aortic valves from 64 patients undergoing aortic valve replacement surgery.Key Results: Nilotinib increased murine aortic valve thickness. Nilotinib, but not imatinib, promoted calcification and osteogenic activation and decreased autophagy in human VICs. Differential tyrosine kinase expression was detected between healthy and calcified valve tissue. Transcriptomic target identification revealed that the discoidin domain receptor DDR2, which is preferentially inhibited by nilotinib, was predominantly expressed in human aortic valves but markedly downregulated in calcified valve tissue. Nilotinib and selective DDR2 targeting in VICs induced a similar osteogenic activation, which was blunted by increasing the DDR2 ligand, collagen.Conclusions and Implications: These findings suggest that inhibition of DDR2 by nilotinib promoted aortic valve thickening and VIC calcification, with possible translational implications for cardiovascular surveillance and possible personalized medicine in CML patients.

The most common cause for interventional valve treatment is aortic stenosis. A cardinal symptom of aortic stenosis is heart failure due to the increased load exerted on the left ventricle. However, the left ventricular load is not solely determined based on the degree of aortic stenosis but is also impacted by arterial stiffness. The combined load can be determined by valvulo-arterial impedance (Zva), which is associated with poor outcome in aortic stenosis. We recently demonstrated low measures of systemic arterial stiffness in patients with aortic stenosis, and that arterial stiffness was increased after surgical aortic valve replacement. The results indicated a masked arterial stiffness in aortic stenosis when using methods incorporating peripheral arterial segments. Available studies using several different methods to assess arterial stiffness in relatively small aortic stenosis cohorts examined before and after either surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement/intervention have generated contradictory results. In this commentary, we present a detailed literature review to explore how different methods and measures of arterial stiffness in aortic stenosis capture or not, a masked arterial stiffness in aortic stenosis and possible reasons for the observed results. Future studies validating a non-invasive reproducible method to assess arterial stiffness in aortic stenosis patients could potentially lead to an implementation in pre-interventional risk assessment for aortic stenosis.

Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is a common age-related disease characterized by active calcification of the leaflets of the aortic valve. How innate immune cells are involved in disease pathogenesis is not clear. In this study we investigate the role of the pattern recognition receptor Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) in CAVS, especially in relation to macrophage subtype. Human aortic valves were used for mRNA expression analysis, immunofluorescence staining, or ex vivo tissue assays. Response to TLR7 agonist in primary macrophages and valvular interstitial cells (VICs) were investigated in vitro. In the aortic valve, TLR7 correlated with M2 macrophage markers on mRNA levels. Expression was higher in the calcified part compared with the intermediate and healthy parts. TLR7+ cells were co-stained with M2-type macrophage receptors CD163 and CD206. Ex vivo stimulation of valve tissue with the TLR7 ligand imiquimod significantly increased secretion of IL-10, TNF-α, and GM-CSF. Primary macrophages responded to imiquimod with increased secretion of IL-10 while isolated VICs did not respond. In summary, in human aortic valves TLR7 expression is associated with M2 macrophages markers. Ex vivo tissue challenge with TLR7 ligand led to secretion of immunomodulatory cytokine IL-10. These results connect TLR7 activation in CAVS to reduced inflammation and improved clearance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aortic valve stenosis (AVS), a consequence of increased fibrosis and calcification of the aortic valve leaflets, causes progressive narrowing of the aortic valve. Proteoglycans, structural components of the aortic valve, accumulate in regions with fibrosis and moderate calcification. Particularly, proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) has been identified in fibrotic parts of aortic valves. However, the role of PRG4 in the context of AVS and aortic valve calcification has not yet been determined. Here, transcriptomics, histology, and immunohistochemistry were performed in human aortic valves from patients undergoing aortic valve replacement. Human valve interstitial cells (VICs) were used for calcification experiments and RNA expression analysis. PRG4 was significantly upregulated in thickened and calcified regions of aortic valves compared with healthy regions. In addition, mRNA levels of PRG4 positively associated with mRNA for proteins involved in cardiovascular calcification. Treatment of VICs with recombinant human PRG4 enhanced phosphate-induced calcification and increased the mRNA expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 and the runt-related transcription factor 2. In summary, PRG4 was upregulated in the development of AVS and promoted VIC osteogenic differentiation and calcification. These results suggest that an altered valve leaflet proteoglycan composition may play a role in the progression of AVS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Aortic valve calcium (AVC) and coronary artery calcium (CAC) are common complications in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We investigated the prognostic significance of overlapping presence of AVC and CAC, and whether AVC was associated with all-cause mortality independent of the presence of CAC in ESRD. Methods: 259 ESRD patients (median age 55 years, 67% males) undergoing cardiac computed tomography were included. Framingham risk score (FRS), presence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), statin use, nutritional status and other relevant laboratory data were determined at baseline. During follow-up for median 36 months, 44 patients died, and 68 patients underwent renal transplantation. Results: The baseline overlap presence of AVC and CAC was 37%. Multivariate regression analysis showed that FRS (odds ratio (OR) 2.25; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.43–3.55) and CAC score (OR (95% CI), 2.18 (1.34–3.59)) were independent determinants of AVC. In competing-risk regression models adjusted for presence of CAC, inflammation, nutritional status, CVD, FRS and statin use, AVC remained independently associated with all-cause mortality (sub-hazard ratio (95% CI), 2.57 (1.20–5.51)). Conclusions: The overlap of AVC and CAC was 37% in this ESRD cohort. AVC was associated with increased all-cause mortality independent of presence of CAC, traditional risk factors and inflammation.

- Abstract
Aims: Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) generate diverse bioactive lipid mediators, which tightly regulate vascular inflammation. The effects of omega-3 PUFA supplementation in cardiovascular prevention however remain controversial. In addition to direct dietary intake, fatty acid desaturases (FADS) determine PUFA levels. Increased arterial stiffness represents an independent predictor of mortality and cardiovascular events. The aim of the present study was to determine the association of PUFA intake, FADS1 genotype, and FADS expression with arterial stiffness., Methods and Results: A cross-sectional population-based cohort study of 1464 participants without overt cardiovascular disease was conducted. Dietary intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. Arterial stiffness was assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), and the FADS1 locus variant was determined. Blood cell transcriptomics was performed in a subset of 410 individuals. Pulse wave velocity was significantly associated with the FADS1 locus variant. Differential associations between PWV and omega-3 PUFA intake were observed depending on the FADS1 genotype. High omega-3 PUFA intake attenuated the FADS1 genotype-dependent associations. Carriers of the minor FADS1 locus variant exhibited increased expression of FADS2, which is associated with PWV., Conclusion: Taken together, these findings point to FADS1 genotype-dependent associations of omega-3 PUFA intake on subclinical cardiovascular disease. These findings may have implications for identifying responders and non-responders to omega-3 PUFA supplementation and open up for personalized dietary counselling in cardiovascular prevention., (© The Author(s) 2022.

- Abstract
Valvular and arterial function are tightly intertwined, both in terms of structural changes and hemodynamics. While proximal valvulo-vascular coupling contributes to the cardiovascular consequences of aortic stenosis, less is known on how peripheral arterial stiffness relates to aortic valve disease. Previous studies have shown conflicting results regarding the impact of aortic valve replacement on arterial stiffness. The aim of the present study was therefore to determine predictors of arterial stiffness in patients with and without aortic valve disease undergoing cardiac surgery. Cardio ankle vascular index (CAVI) and carotid femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) were measured to determine arterial stiffness the day before and 3 days after surgery for either ascending aortic or aortic valve disease. Stratification on indication for surgery revealed that CAVI was significantly lower in patients with aortic valve stenosis ( n = 45) and aortic valve regurgitation (n=30) compared with those with isolated ascending aortic dilatation ( n = 13). After surgery, a significant increased CAVI was observed in aortic stenosis (median 1.34, IQR 0.74-2.26, p < 0.001) and regurgitation (median 1.04, IQR 0.01-1.49, p = 0.003) patients while cfPWV was not significantly changed. Age, diabetes, low body mass index, low pre-operative CAVI, as well as changes in ejection time were independently associated with increased CAVI after surgery. The results of the present study suggest aortic valve disease as cause of underestimation of arterial stiffness when including peripheral segments. We report cardiovascular risk factors and pinpoint the hemodynamic aspect ejection time to be associated with increased CAVI after aortic valve surgery., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest. The reviewer TK declared a shared affiliation with several of the authors, OP, AF-C, and MB, and to the handling editor at time of review., (Copyright © 2021 Plunde, Franco-Cereceda and Bäck.)

- Abstract
Aortic valve stenosis (AVS), a valvulopathy that threatens life quality and longevity, in particular in an aging population. Yet no medical treatment is to date available emphasizing the need for more mechanistic insight into the disease to provide future treatment targets. Obesity and genetic variants within genes involved in lipid metabolisms and lipoprotein (a) have emerged as risk factors for AVS as these variants have significant genome-wide associations. The metamorphosis of the aortic valve to severe calcification involves lipid infiltration, inflammation, and oxidative stress which promotes further calcification in a viscous cycle in tandem with biomechanical factors that trigger further recruitment of inflammatory cells. The resolution of inflammation is an active and regulated process which therefore offers new possible targets. Fatty acids serve as substrate for many lipid mediators involved in the resolution of inflammation which may counterbalance the inflammation by promoting macrophage-mediated healing leading to a dampened inflammatory response. Recent data have put fatty acids in the spotlight as an important mechanism in the development of aortic valve disease. This review discusses possible mechanisms exerted by fatty acids in the context of AVS to facilitate future search for therapeutic targets.

- Abstract
Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) contributes to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity but disease mechanisms remain largely unknown. Recent evidence associates a single nucleotide polymorphism rs174547 within the FADS1 gene, encoding FADS1 (fatty acid desaturase 1), with risk of several cardiovascular outcomes, including AS. FADS1 encodes a rate-limiting enzyme for ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acid metabolism. The aim of this study was to decipher the local transcriptomic and lipidomic consequences of rs174547 in tricuspid aortic valves from patients with AS., Methods: Expression quantitative trait loci study was performed using data from Illumina Human610-Quad BeadChip, Infinium Global Screening Arrays, and Affymetrix Human Transcriptome 2.0 arrays in calcified and noncalcified aortic valve tissue from 58 patients with AS (mean age, 74.2; SD, 5.9). Fatty acid content was assessed in aortic valves from 25 patients with AS using gas chromatography. Δ 5 and Δ 6 desaturase activity was assessed by the product-to-precursor ratio., Results: The minor C-allele of rs174547, corresponding to the protective genotype for AS, was associated with higher FADS2 mRNA levels in calcified valve tissue, whereas FADS1 mRNA and other transcripts in proximity of the single nucleotide polymorphism were unaltered. In contrast, the FADS1 Δ 5-desaturase activity and the FADS2 Δ 6-desaturase activity were decreased. Finally, docosahexaenoic acid was decreased in calcified tissue compared with non-calcified tissue and C-allele carriers exhibited increased docosahexaenoic acid levels. Overall desaturase activity measured with ω-3 fatty acids was higher in C-allele carriers., Conclusions: The association between the FADS1 genotype and AS may implicate effects on valvular fatty acids.
