Cardiac valve calcification: characteristics of patients with calcification of the mitral annulus or aortic valve.
AIMS To determine whether mitral annular calcification and aortic valve calcification, with or without stenosis, are expressions of atherosclerotic disease. METHODS The incidence of atherosclerotic risk factors was analysed in patients with mitral annular calcification and aortic valve calcification and in control patients from a prospective echocardiographic database of 8160 consecutive pati...
متن کاملAnnulus fibrosus calcification of the mitral valve.
C ALCIUM deposition in diseased heart valves may be demonstrated frequently in necropsy studies, but these deposits are usually overlooked clinicaIIy unless the heart is carefuIly examined roentgenographically. Sosman1 discusses in detail a simple method of demonstrating the presence of calcific deposits within the heart by x-ray. He suggests a small fluoroscopic aperture and a screen of high i...
متن کامل[Mitral valve replacement for a severely calcified mitral annulus].
An 80-year-old woman was referred to our institution because of acute heart failure due to moderate mitral stenosis and severe regurgitation. After medical treatment of heart failure, she underwent mitral valve surgery. Intraoperatively severe calcification of the posterior mitral annulus was revealed. We excised only the anterior mitral leaflet and preserved the posterior mitral leaflet to pre...
متن کاملSurgical removal of calcified amorphous tumor localized to mitral valve leaflet without mitral annular calcification
A cardiac calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) localized to the mitral valve leaflet without mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a rare entity. We report a case of a 69-year-old woman with such a condition, who underwent successful excision of the tumor and mitral valvuloplasty using a glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium. During 38 months of follow-up, no recurrence of a cardiac mass has...
متن کاملAssociation of mitral annulus calcification, aortic valve calcification with carotid intima media thickness
BACKGROUND Mitral annular calcification (MAC) and aortic annular calcification (AVC) may represent a manifestation of generalized atherosclerosis in the elderly. Alterations in vascular structure, as indexed by the intima media thickness (IMT), are also recognized as independent predictors of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. AIM To examine the relationship between the degree of calcification ...
