Two Faces of Mitral Stenosis: Uncovering Structural and Hemodynamic Signatures of Rheumatic and Mitral Annular Calcification-Induced Disease. [PDF]

J Am Heart Assoc
Background Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is common and associated with increased cardiovascular risk and, when severe, mitral stenosis (MS). MAC‐related MS differs anatomically and hemodynamically from rheumatic MS (RMS), challenging standard ...

Clinical and Hemodynamic Implications of Mitral Annular Calcification. [PDF]

J Heart Valve Soc
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is an inflammatory process that shares characteristics with atherosclerosis and results in calcium deposition in the fibrous ring supporting the mitral valve.

Rethinking Mitral Annular Calcification and Its Clinical Significance: From Passive Process to Active Pathology

Journal of Personalized Medicine
Background: Mitral annulus calcification is a chronic degenerative condition affecting the fibrous base of the mitral valve. Historically viewed as an age-related phenomenon, recent studies suggest it is driven by active mechanisms involving systemic ...

Caseous mitral annular calcification mimicking a lung tumor on chest X-ray [PDF]

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2017
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a common condition of the mitral valve apparatus. A case involving caseous calcification, a rare variant of MAC is presented. This variant which has a benign course can present as an intracardiac mass and needs to be

Transcatheter mitral valve implantation in severe mitral annular calcification: a case report [PDF]

European Heart Journal: Case Reports
Background Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is characterized by severe calcification of mitral annulus and might be associated with both mitral regurgitation and stenosis. It is technically challenging for both surgical and percutaneous approach and is
