[Calcified aortic valvular disease associated with adult progeria].
Adult's progeria or Werner's syndrome is a rare condition of autosomal-recessive inheritance, characterized by an apparent acceleration of many of the processes associated with aging. We describe the cardiovascular findings in a 44 year-old man with this disorder. Slightly elevation of urinary hyaluronic acid level contributes to the diagnosis.
