Abstract
Spiral computed tomography (dual-helical slice mode) is a well-known modality for detection of coronary calcium.1–4 The close correlation between the coronary calcium score by computed tomography (CT) and the extent and severity of coronary atherosclerosis on angiography is well established.1,5–8 The possible linkage between presence of mitral annular calcium (MAC) and calcium of the aorta by CT is unknown. The present work determines whether an association exists between MAC and calcium of the aorta, as detected by CT.
