Mitral Annular Calcification: Understanding the Disease and Treatment Options

Mitral Annular Calcification: Understanding the Disease and Treatment Options

Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a degenerative process that causes calcium deposits along the mitral annulus. The pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to the development of MAC are not fully understood. The main risk factors for MAC are advanced age, female gender, chronic kidney disease...
