Massive Calcification of the Mitral Annulus: A Clinicopathological Study of Fourteen Cases
Abstract
CALCIFICATION of the annulus fibrosus of the mitral valve is commonly found in older people at autopsy.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Although this process can be a sequela of rheumatic,7 , 8 rheumatoid9 and other types of endocarditis, pathological evidence of previous inflammation is often absent.10 , 11 The lesion is generally regarded as the end stage of a degenerative process.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Recently, severe calcification of the mitral annulus, with resultant anatomic deformity of the orifice, has been found in 5 patients at the Massachusetts General Hospital at post-mortem examination. In none was there pathological evidence of healed rheumatic heart disease. These unusual findings stimulated a search of the . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
