Popis:	Objectives: Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is the thickening or calcification of the aortic valve without significant obstruction, primarily affecting the elderly and potentially progressing to calcific aortic valve disease with high morbidity and mortality. This study evaluates the diagnostic potential of the neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NAR) in predicting AVS. Methods: In this retrospective study, 494 patients aged 18-75 who underwent transthoracic echocardiography between December 2022 and March 2024 were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: 401 with AVS and 93 without. NAR was calculated from laboratory data. Results: The AVS group had higher rates of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and coronary artery disease compared to the control group (p
