Rapid growth of calcified amorphous tumor with mitral annulus calcification: a case report.
Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg Cases
August 2024
Background: Calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) of the heart is a rare, non-neoplastic cardiac mass with mitral valves and annuli being the most common sites. The presence of mitral annular calcification (MAC) is associated with an increased risk of stroke or other systemic embolisms. Here, we report a case of CAT showing rapid growth with MAC and investigate the link between the two.

- The study investigated the relationship between varicose veins and edema by measuring the extracellular water ratio (E/T) in patients using bioelectrical impedance analysis before and after surgery.
- A total of 120 patients had their E/T values measured, with edema defined as an E/T of 0.390 or higher; results showed that both treated and untreated legs showed signs of edema pre-surgery.
- Post-surgery, the E/T values decreased significantly across the body, indicating that varicose vein treatment effectively reduced edema in the affected leg and overall.
