Severe mitral annular calcification in rheumatic heart disease: A rare presentation.

Rajesh Vijayvergiya1, Kim Vaiphei, Sandeep S Rana.   

Abstract

Severe mitral annular calcification (MAC) is frequently seen in patients with advanced age and chronic kidney disease, but it is rare in rheumatic heart disease (RHD). We hereby report a case of 45-year-old female with chronic RHD, who had severe MAC and mitral regurgitation. Fluoroscopy revealed a "crown"-like severe calcification of the mitral annulus. Autopsy of the heart revealed a calcified posterior mitral annulus, fused commissures, and calcified nodules at the atrial aspect of the mitral valve.
