    Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly affecting the aging population.

  • 2

    Aortic stenosis (AS) is now recognized as an actively regulated disease involving inflammation, fibrosis, and calcification.

  • 3

    Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as critical regulators of gene expression in valvular interstitial cell biology.

  • 4

    Circulating lncRNAs may serve as novel mediators for intercellular communication and potential biomarkers in AS management.

  • 5

    Further research is needed to explore the specific roles of lncRNAs in AS and to develop effective lncRNA-based therapeutic strategies.
