A case study shows embolic thrombus on mitral anulus calcification (MAC) caused retinal embolism in an elderly woman. This finding suggests MAC is a potential source of embolic stroke in older individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Neurology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Mitral anulus calcification (MAC) is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for cerebrovascular events, particularly in the elderly population.
  • Previous studies have linked MAC to an increased risk of stroke.
  • Atrial fibrillation and calcific emboli are known complications, but thrombus formation directly on MAC as an embolic source is less understood.
