Comment on “Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with aortic valve sclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis”

With great interest, we read the recent meta- analysis written by Di Minno and colleagues [1], which assessed the association between aortic valve sclerosis (AVSc) and coronary artery disease (CAD), stroke and cardiovascular (CV) mortality. The authors concluded that AVSc screening may be of great value to be included in CV risk stratification protocols. We appreciate for the authors' thorough analysis. However, we have some concerns about the strength of their conclusion.
