Popis: Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a rare form of mitral valve calcification. We present a 82-year-old female patient, who was hospitalized due to heart failure symptoms and atrial fibrillation with heart rate 180/min. Echocardiography revealed a round mass attached to annulus and posterior leaflet of mitral valve. Based on the multimodal diagnostics: transoesophageal echocardiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, CCMA was diagnosed. The improvement of the general state and conversion to sinus rhythm was achieved with pharmacotherapy. The patient was excluded from surgery, and qualified for periodic echocardiographic control.
