Abstract:
Vascular calcification is a process similar to bone de-velopment, which is excessively abnormal deposition of calcium and phosphate in blood vessel wall. It is a sign of early athero-sclerosis formation, and can reduce the atherosclerotic vascular compliance. The common regulation of vascular calcification is affected by many factors. This article discusses the formation of vascular calcification from the molecular mechanism, the chemi- ＜br> cal mechanism and metabolic factors. It also reviews the progress of the prevention of vascular calcification by traditional Chinese medicine.
