Template: 'Diagnostic criteria for aortic calcification met as evidenced by CT scan results.'
Template: 'Treatment plan initiated for aortic calcification with referral for surgical evaluation.'
Template: 'Follow-up care for aortic calcification including monitoring of symptoms and imaging.'
Document clinical findings, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Aortic calcification specifically refers to calcification of the aorta or valves, while aortic stenosis involves narrowing.
