Abstract
Vascular calcification is a high prevalent complication that arises as a consequence of impaired calcium and phosphate balance amongst cardiovascular patients. Multiple inducer/ inhibitory molecules and
pathways as well as genetic background and lifestyle play role in this phenomenon. According to which
vessel layer (intima, media or both) is involved different types of vascular calcification take place. Actual
mechanism and consensus pathways have not been elucidated yet and needs further investigations.
