Case Presentation: A 77-year-old female presented to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain. Cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) was performed and demonstrated a hyperechoic structure on the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve. Admission to cardiology and echocardiogram revealed moderately decreased mobility of the posterior leaflet, mitral annular calcification, and severe mitral regurgitation. Discussion: These findings highlight the role of POCUS in identifying mitral valve pathology in the ED, ultimately leading to appropriate disposition and management. Mitral annular calcification can lead to significant manifestations including mitral stenosis or regurgitation, and advanced cases have been associated with an increased risk of infective endocarditis, thrombosis, and arrhythmia.

Abstract Background Caseous mitral annular calcification is an under-diagnosed division of calcific mitral valve disease that has recently been reported to have increased propensity for embolic disease. Early recognition of this entity as a cause of embolic disease can lead to prevention of occlusive vascular disease and long-standing complications. Case Summary We present the case of a patient with end-stage renal disease who presented for evaluation of chest pain and was found to have ST-segment myocardial infarction. Despite thrombectomy and stenting, he had multiple recurrent events, and imaging evaluation demonstrated caseous mitral annular calcification with mobile components. He was taken for surgical replacement of the mitral valve, with pathology confirming diagnosis. Discussion Caseous mitral annular calcification may represent an increased risk of embolic disease. Better understanding of this pathology and it’s propensity for embolic disease will be important to best determine treatment plans and timing of operative intervention.
