Abstract: Calcification is one of the key processes driving progression of aortic stenosis (AS), alongside inflammation and fibrosis ([1][1]). Women require less aortic valve calcification on multidetector computed tomography (CT-AVC) to develop severe AS than men, even after accounting for body size. In line
