Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction Vascular calcification is a feature of both advanced atherosclerosis and medial artery calcification also known as Monckeberg's sclerosis [1]. Medial arterial calcification (MAC) is the mineral deposition in the media of arteries and is typically associated with elastin. It occurs independently of atherosclerotic plaque [2].
