I think there's a diet and exercise regiment that is thought to stop and possibly reverse the calcification of arteries (and I assume valves). This probably isn't an option if his calcification is acute, which is usually the case because people only find out about it after a major event.

I think it goes without saying - do your own research and consult a physician. PubMed is a great resource.

Not sure why this is downvoted. Even with other treatments, diet and exercise are still an important part of recovery and future prevention.

Thanks for the information!
