Abstract EN
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), once thought to be a degenerative disease, is now recognized to be an active pathobiological process, with chronic inflammation emerging as a predominant, and possibly driving, factor.
However, many details of the pathobiological mechanisms of CAVD remain to be described, and new approaches to treat CAVD need to be identified.
Animal models are emerging as vital tools to this end, facilitated by the advent of new models and improved understanding of the utility of existing models.
In this paper, we summarize and critically appraise current small and large animal models of CAVD, discuss the utility of animal models for priority CAVD research areas, and provide recommendations for future animal model studies of CAVD.
