CALCIFICATION OF THE TRICUSPID ANNULUS

Abstract
Four cases with tricuspid annular calcification, identified roentgenographically, are reported. The increased stress on the tricuspid ring from prolonged increase in right ventricular pressure is believed to be a significant factor in all of these cases. The appearance of the calcified annulus and the method of roentgenologic localization are described.
