With the development of social economy and medicine, degenerative heart valve disease has become the major part in heart valve disease. Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is one of the most representative manifestations of degenerative valvular disease. Aortic valve calcification (AVC) has been found to be a strong predictor of major cardiovascular events, which makes it necessary to identify an effective way to evaluate the degree of AVC. Numerous methods of quantitative assessment of AVC have been reported. Here, we discuss these methods from the aspects of pathology and imageology.
