Association of Triglyceride-Related Genetic Variants With Mitral Annular Calcification

Mitral annular calcium (MAC), commonly identified by cardiac imaging, is associated with cardiovascular events and predisposes to the development of clinically important mitral valve regurgitation and mitral valve stenosis. However, its biological determinants remain largely unknown. The authors sou...
