There were 49 men without baseline valvular heart disease who subsequently died of aortic stenosis. Each was matched, for age, duration of sample storage and number of freeze\u2013thaw cycles, with four unaffected control subjects. Odds ratios for death from aortic stenosis were estimated by logistic regression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Mean serum calcium concentration was higher in men who died of aortic stenosis than in those who did not (2.44 vs. 2.39 mmol L<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.01). The risk of death from aortic stenosis in the highest calcium tertile was 2.87\u2010fold higher than in the lowest tertile (95% confidence interval 1.22\u20136.76). There was a continuous dose\u2013response relationship; risk of death from aortic stenosis increased by 51% (11\u2013105%) per 0.1 mmol L<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> increase in serum calcium, equivalent to a 34% (10\u201352%) lower risk per 0.1 mmol L<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> decrease.

If confirmed quantitatively in other similar cohort studies, the results suggest that a very small reduction in serum calcium (about 5%) could translate into a large (about one\u2010third) reduction in aortic stenosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/joim.12593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,3]],"date-time":"2017-02-03T15:37:59Z","timestamp":1486136279000},"page":"407-411","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Mortality from aortic stenosis: prospective study of serum calcium and phosphate"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"281","author":[{"given":"D.
