In this paper, an experimental study was conducted to determine if apolipoprotein A•I (ApoA•I) mimetic peptide infusions could induce regression of aortic valve stenosis.
Abstract
Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is the most common valvular heart disease, and standard curative therapy remains open heart surgical valve replacement. The aim of our experimental study was to determine if apolipoprotein A‐I (ApoA‐I) mimetic peptide infusions could induce regression of AVS.

Effects of an Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blocker on Cardiovascular Calcification

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that ARBs robustly inhibit arterial calcification and this study is the first to suggest ARBs as a novel treatment option for those at risk for cardiovascular calcification, and suggests that ARB-treated animals had significantly increased valvular calcium.

Effect of recombinant ApoA-I Milano on coronary atherosclerosis in patients with acute coronary syndromes: a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: A recombinant ApoA-I Milano/phospholipid complex administered intravenously for 5 doses at weekly intervals produced significant regression of coronary atherosclerosis as measured by IVUS, and results require confirmation in larger clinical trials with morbidity and mortality end points.

A randomized trial of intensive lipid-lowering therapy in calcific aortic stenosis.

TL;DR: Long-term, large-scale, randomized, controlled trials are needed to establish the role of statin therapy in patients with calcific aortic stenosis, and this study cannot exclude a small reduction in the rate of disease progression or a significant reduction in major clinical end points.

Spectrum of calcific aortic valve disease: pathogenesis, disease progression, and treatment strategies.

TL;DR: There is compelling histopathologic and clinical data suggesting that calcific valve disease is an active disease process akin to atherosclerosis with lipoprotein deposition, chronic inflammation, and active leaflet calcification.

Effects of reconstituted high-density lipoprotein infusions on coronary atherosclerosis: a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: Short-term infusions of reconstituted HDL resulted in no significant reductions in percentage change in atheroma volume or nominal change in plaque volume compared with placebo but did result in statistically significant improvement in the plaque characterization index and coronary score on quantitative coronary angiography.
