Senile Calcification of the Trachea, Aortic Arch, and Mitral Annulus: An Incidental Finding on Chest X-Ray.
A 94-year-old woman presented with dizziness and hypotension of 2 days' duration. She denied any syncope, presyncope, or angina. She had received a permanent pacemaker 12 years previously for the management of complete heart block (CHB), but she failed to program it. Twelve-lead electrocardiography revealed CHB with ventricular escape rhythm (40/min), so we inserted a temporary pacemaker. Anter...

Caseous calcification of mitral annulus, also known as caseoma, is a rare echocardiographic finding. Because it often presents asymptomatically, the diagnosis is usually incidental. The condition arises due to caseous degeneration in the internal material of the mitral annulus calcification. On echocardiography, the calcification is a round mass with a central echolucent area, typically located...

Although MAC was initially thought to be an age-related degenerative process, there is accumulating evidence that other mechanisms, such as atherosclerosis and abnormal calcium-phosphorus metabolism, also contribute to the development of MAC. Despite its frequency, the clinical relevan...

متن کاملCardiac 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.

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...
