Large Caseous Mitral Annular Calcification
A 68-year-old woman presented with exertional dyspnea, angina, and syncope. She was undergoing renal dialysis (3 times weekly, for one year) and was taking nifedipine for hypertension. Laboratory results suggested secondary hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia. Auscultation revealed a severe systolic murmur at the left upper parasternal border and a moderate diastolic murmur at the cardiac ape...
متن کاملFunctional mitral stenosis in patients with massive mitral annular calcification.
Mitral insufficiency with mitral annular calcification occurring predominantly in elderly females has been described. We studied six patients with mitral diastolic obstruction associated with mitral annular calcification without stenosis of the mitral leaflets. Three were males and three were females, aged 43-77 years. All had significant diastolic gradients across the mitral valve (mean gradie...
متن کاملIntracardiac pseudotumor caused by mitral annular calcification.
The current report describes a rare case of a pseudotumor in the left ventricle. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a round, echodense, mobile mass attached to the posterior mitral leaflet and annulus. At surgical exploration caseous annular calcification of the posterior mitral leaflet was diagnosed. After resection of the mass, successful mitral valvular plasty wa...
متن کاملMitral annular calcification – An overview Mitral anuler kalsifikasyon - Derleme
Calcification of the mitral annulus has long been considered as a benign condition. However, recent investigations have shed a light on this condition. According to the severity of the disease, the result may be regurgitation or rarely stenosis of the mitral valve. In addition to the local effects, mitral annular calcification is considered as a surrogate for systemic inflammation, widespread c...
متن کاملMitral annular calcification as a cause of mitral valve gradients.
BACKGROUND Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is common, particularly in the elderly. While thought to occasionally produce significant mitral regurgitation, it is considered a rare cause of mitral stenosis. METHODS Echocardiogram reports from general cardiology outpatients were searched for phrases regarding severe MAC and, separately, for mitral stenosis. Rheumatic disease or other mitral v...
