Abstract
• Massive LA calcification is a rare manifestation of long-standing RHD. • This condition is not necessarily related to the severity of rheumatic valve disease. • LA calcification may onset several years after surgical MVR. • Although likely explained by chronic inflammation, further mechanisms remain unknown.
摘要
• 巨大左心房钙化是长期风湿性心脏病的罕见表现。
• 这种情况不一定与风湿性瓣膜病的严重程度相关。
• 左心房钙化可能在二尖瓣置换术后数年出现。
• 虽然可能由慢性炎症解释，但具体机制仍不清楚。
