What is a Disc Tear? A disc or annular-tear (or fissure) represents a degenerative or traumatic change in an interveterbral disc1. These tears involve separations or breaks in the fibers comprising the annulus fibrosus, or the fibrous outer-most portion of an intervertebral disc.
An increased prevalence of mitral annular calcification has also been found in patients with systemic hypertension, increased mitral valve stress, mitral valve prolapse, raised left ventricular systolic pressure, aortic valve stenosis, chronic renal failure, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and atrial fibrillation. 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.
