Myocardial infarction induced by caseous mitral annular calcification: a case report

European Heart Journal: Case Reports, 2023
Background Caseous mitral annular calcification (CMAC) is a rare variant of mitral annular calcification. Symptoms can be related to mitral valvular dysfunction, arterial embolization, and transient aortic outflow tract obstruction.

Mitral Annular Calcification, a Not So Marginal and Relatively Benign Finding as Many of Us Think: A Review

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is usually considered an incidental, benign, age-related finding without serious complications in patients evaluated for cardiovascular or pulmonary disease with imaging studies that may result in mitral regurgitation ...

Refining Residual Ischemic Stroke Risk in Anticoagulated Atrial Fibrillation Using Index Outpatient LA Diameter: The CHA2DS2‐VALa Score

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
In anticoagulated atrial fibrillation, residual ischemic stroke risk persists despite guideline‐directed therapy. In this single‐center cohort, an enlarged index outpatient left atrial diameter independently predicted stroke and improved risk stratification when added to CHA2DS2‐VA (CHA2DS2‐VALa), supporting a simple, clinically implementable ...

Management of Left Atrial Appendage Thrombi and Spontaneous Echo Contrast

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To analyze the efficacy and safety of various anticoagulation strategies/regimen used for managing thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast in the left atrial appendage. Methods Thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast in the left atrial appendage was detected via transesophageal echocardiography in 83 patients, most often during a stroke
