Abstract
TUNG-CHEN, Yale and ROIG-OSCA, Miguel Ángel. Calcificación caseosa del anillo mitral: desenmascarando una enfermedad simuladora. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.6, pp.524-524. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2016.03.019.
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus is an underdiagnosed disease, which can be associated with aging and cardiovascular risk factors: hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia or end-stage renal disease. This disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis in order to avoid unnecessary tests or even surgery.
