Osteoprotegerin Inhibits Aortic Valve Calcification and Preserves Valve Function in Hypercholesterolemic Mice

BACKGROUND: There are no rigorously confirmed effective medical therapies for calcific aortic stenosis. Hypercholesterolemic Ldlr (−/−) Apob (100/100) mice develop calcific aortic stenosis and valvular cardiomyopathy in old age. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) modulates calcification in bone and blood vessels...
