Objectives. There are limited clinical data revealing the relationship between mitral annular
calcification (MAC) and systemic inflammation. The goal of the present study was to …

BACKGROUND: Mitral annular calcification (MAC) has been shown to be associated with
atherosclerosis, and is a predictor of cardiovascular events. Coronary flow reserve (CFR) …

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

Aim: Mitral annulus calcification (MAC) is characterized by degenerative calcification of the
mitral valve annulus, MAC and atherosclerosis are similar in regard to risk factors and …

Background Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a common echocardiographic finding in
clinical practice and is associated with cardiovascular risk factors and atherosclerosis …

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 In the latest reports, atherogenic indices have been related to acute coronary
syndromes, stable coronary artery disease, heart failure and future cardiac events …

BACKGROUND: Mitral annulus calcification (MAC) is an important echocardiographic
finding that is significantly associated with valvular abnormalities. However, the effect of …

To determine whether the observed association between mitral annular calcification (MAC)
and mortality is independent of the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), we analyzed …

Background Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is increasingly observed in elderly
population. The purpose of this study was to investigate incidence of MAC and its …
