متن کاملVascular calcification: an age-old problem of old age.
V ascular calcification, once considered a passive consequence of aging, is now recognized to be a highly regulated process akin to bone formation. Vascular calcification is prevalent across ethnicities and age groups, and observational studies show an interaction with aging in asymptomatic adults and in individuals with established coronary artery disease. Recent findings from the HORUS study ...

See related article, pages 307–312. The Intensive Blood Pressure Reduction In Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage Trial (INTERACT) trial suggests that early, intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering can attenuate hematoma extension or growth (HE) 24 hours after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).1 The primary goal of this more detailed analysis published in this issue of Stroke2 is to determine if the BP-lower...
