Objectives: We sought to determine the magnitude of the association between mitral annular
calcification (MAC) and vascular events in a multiethnic cohort. Background: Mitral annular …

BACKGROUND: Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a fibrous, degenerative calcification of
the mitral valve. The relationship between MAC and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk …

Background Significant cardiovascular morbidity has been associated with mitral annulus
calcification (MAC), but limited data exist regarding its progression. The purpose of this study …

BACKGROUND: Despite the potential link between mitral annular calcification (MAC) and
atherosclerosis, there is limited data regarding the prevalence of MAC in African Americans …

Background—Mitral annular calcification (MAC) has been associated with stroke in
longitudinal, community-based cohorts and cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes in …

Background. Previous clinical studies have suggested that there is an association between
mitral annular calcification and the risk of stroke, but it is unclear whether this association is …

Objective To evaluate the prevalence and natural history of mitral annulus calcification
(MAC) and associated mitral valve dysfunction (MVD) in patients undergoing clinically …

Aims The associations of mitral annular calcification (MAC) with atrial fibrillation (AF) risk
factors and related outcomes suggest a possible association between MAC and AF. The aim …

Background: Mitral annular calcification (MAC) has been associated with adverse
cardiovascular disease outcomes and stroke in longitudinal and community-based cohorts …

Aims To determine if progression of mitral annular calcium (MAC) detected by cardiac
computed tomography (CT) predicts incident atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods and results This …
