Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the character of cardiac valvular calcification in uremia patients and its effect on cardiac structure and function.Methods:Thirty five cases with mitral and aortic valve calcification were selected from 326 uremia patients.Control group consisted of 33 uremia patients without valvular calcification.Their age,LVEDD,LAD,AOD,LVWT,LVEF and blood pressure matched with calcification group.The observing indexs included distribution of calcification,degree of regurgitation,LVEDD,LAD,AOD,LVWT and LVEF.The observing duration was one year.Results:The results showed that characters of valvular calcification with uremia were similar to elder valvular calcification.The degree of regurgitation was more greater in calcification group than in control group after one year.The LAD was greater in calcification group after one year.Conclusion:Cardiac valvular calcification of uremia may cause the increase of regurgitation and enlarge LAD.
