Mitral annular calcification

Discussion:

This case demonstrates calcification of the mitral valve annulus (not to be confused with mitral valve leaflet calcification which is the result of, and can cause, mitral valve disease).

Coarse calcification is seen in the expected location of the mitral valve, to the left of midline.  It is associated with conduction defects and coronary artery disease.
