Noriko Inoue,Tomoko Ohkusa,Tomoe Katoh,Kensuke Esato,Masunori Matsuzaki-2000-01-01-Japanese Circulation Journal

TL;DRAbstract

Mitral annular calcification, a degenerative process usually seen in the elderly or in chronic renal failure, is rarely seen in an extensive form. A 69-year-old man with no history of renal failure, rheumatic fever, or heart disease had mitral valve vegetation and regurgitation, together with extensive mitral annuls and valve calcification, which may or may not have been secondary to the infective endocarditis.
