What is the diagnosis of mitral valve annulus calcification?

The diagnosis methods of mitral annulus calcification are auscultation, chest X-ray examination, echocardiography, etc.

1. When auscultation

doctor carries out cardiac auscultation on patients, he can hear 3-4 grade murmur in apical systole period, enhanced in middle systole period, and when the disease is serious, there may be whole systolic murmur accompanied by diastolic rumble-like murmur, and the murmur is relatively short.

2. Chest X-ray examination

Chest X-ray examination can show the pathological changes of patients 'heart and lung tissues. During this examination, calcification shadow may be found at mitral annulus, which is helpful to diagnose mitral annulus calcification.

3. Echocardiogram examination of

patients can show strong echo mass at atrioventricular junction, which can not only confirm mitral annulus calcification, but also judge the degree and scope of mitral annulus calcification, and observe whether there is valve stenosis and insufficiency.
