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 …

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 …

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

Background Mitral annular calcification (MAC) has been suggested as a reliable, time-
averaged marker of atherosclerosis and is associated with coronary artery disease, heart …

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

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 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) is prevalent in the aging population, with
recent renewed interest regarding its associations with cardiovascular risk factors …

Background and Purpose—Mitral annular calcification (MAC) and aortic valve (AV) sclerosis
have each been linked to cardiovascular disease. Whether MAC and AV sclerosis are risk …
