Approach to An Unusual Cardiac Mass: Mitral Annulus Caseoma

, 2019
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is known to be a rare variant of mitral annulus calcification, a chronic and degenerative process of the mitral valve fibrous ring. It usually carries a benign prognosis.

Parvalbumin interneurons in Alzheimer's disease: Physiological insights and pathophysiological mechanisms

Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 20, Issue 3, September 2026.
Physiological and Pathological Alterations in PV+ Neurons: Under physiological conditions, PV+ interneurons exhibit fast‐spiking properties and generate gamma oscillations at the cost of high energy consumption. In AD, PV+ neurons display abnormalities in ion channels, dendrites, neurotransmission, energy metabolism, and neural oscillations, ultimately

Left Atrium and Left Atrial Appendage Remodeling Assessed by Echocardiography Predict Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 9, September 2026.
LAAS and LAASR were independent factors contributing to AF recurrence. Incremental value of LAAS and LAASR in risk prediction of AF recurrence. ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this study is to evaluate left atrium (LA) and left atrial appendage (LAA) remodeling using two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D‐STE) and investigate its predictive ...

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 ...

Mitral Annular Caseous Calcification: A Rare Variant of a Common Echocardiographic Finding Discovered with Advanced Imaging Techniques

Case Reports in Medicine, 2013
We present the case of a 90-year-old diabetic male and medically managed three-vessel coronary artery disease with evidence of an oval, nonmobile echo-density located on the posterior mitral valve annulus measuring two centimeters in diameter without ...

The Systolic Anterior Motion After Mitral Valve Repair: A Narrative Review of Current Therapeutic Algorithms in the Operating Room

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Systolic anterior motion (SAM) represents the displacement of the anterior mitral leaflet during ventricular systole toward the interventricular septum, causing an obstruction of the outflow tract. Most of the published data regards the primary SAM that is associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This review was focused

Selective, segmental decalcification: a safe alternative to extensive debridement of a severely calcified annulus during repair of mitral regurgitation [PDF]

, 2021
Resection of the calcium bar and creation of a more compressible annulus with pericardium are necessary in case of extensive calcification of the mitral valve annulus in patients with advanced myxomatous degenerative disease.
