Caseous Necrosis of Mitral Annulus
Masses or mass-like lesions located in proximity to mitral valve encompass a wide range of differential diagnoses including neoplasias, abscesses, thrombi, and rarely caseous calcification of mitral annulus. Due to asymptomatic presentation, its diagnosis is usually incidental. Echocardiography is the first choice of imaging in evaluation. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is helpful in establis...
متن کاملMitral anular calcification in chronic renal failure.
In order to determine the incidence and pathogenesis of mitral anular calcification (MAC) in chronic renal failure, we analyzed biochemical, hemodynamic and echocardiographic data in 168 patients on long-term hemodialysis. Mitral anular calcification is more common in patients with chronic renal failure than in other patients of similar age. Its pathogenesis appears to be due to abnormal calciu...
متن کاملLarge 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 کاملCaseous calcification of the mitral annulus.
A 61-year-old asymptomatic woman was referred for echocardiography to evaluate recently detected systolic murmur. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an echodense obstructive mass in the left ventricular outflow tract of unclear origin. Subsequent transesophageal echo suggested an intracardiac calcified tumor and recommended surgical excision. Contrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography (...
متن کاملSpontaneous Resolution of a Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus
An asymptomatic 76-year-old woman with a prior history of mitral annular calcification underwent a transthoracic echocardiographic examination for evaluation. Her risk factor for atherothrombotic disease was hypertension, and she had no prior medical history of hyperlipidemia or diabetes. She was given the following pharmacologic treatments: an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (qui...
