Patients with AVSc had an imbalance in some of the trace elements in their blood. The patient group's valves had higher serum Cu levels and lower serum Se, Zn, and Fe concentrations compared with the healthy group's valves. In the valve patients as compared, AVSc had a high prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes.
