The positive predictive value of mitral annular calcification for finding severe coronary artery disease was 92%. Conclusions: In patients aged â¤ 65 years, mitral annular calcification is associated with an increased prevalence of severe obstructive coronary artery disease.It may serve as a useful echocardiographic marker for the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease, especially when associated with anginal symptoms. possible association between mitral annular calcification and coronary artery disease has recently been suggested. Objective: To determine the prevalence of severe coronary artery disease in younger patients with mitral annular calcification.
