Abstract：【Objective】To evaluate the diagnostic effect of echocardiography on left heart valve calcification. 【Methods】A total of 86 patients with left heart valve calcification were enrolled in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2016, and underwent transthoracic echocardiography. 【Results】In 86 patients with left heart valve calcification, aortic valve calcification was the largest, accounting for 81.40% (70/86), and aortic valve insufficiency was 41.86% (36/86);In 86 patients with left ventricular valve calcification, only 31.40% (27/86) of their left atrium increased ,simple left ventricular enlargement accounted for 13.95% (12/86); left atrium and left ventricle increased, accounting for 12.79% (11/86);Left ventricular hypertrophy was seen, in which 63 cases had ventricular thickening of 1～5 mm, accounting for 73.26% (63/86).Left ventricular diastolic function decreased in 72 cases, accounting for 83.27% (72/86).In the left ventricle of 86 patients with left ventricular valve calcification, the aortic reflex enhanced and the elasticity became worse.The aortic internal diameter was 30~35 mm, accounting for 62.79% (54/86),those of 35~40 mm accounted for 31.40% (27/86),and those ＞40 mm accounted for 5.81% (5/86).【Conclusion】Echocardiography can better reflect the location of calcification and the changes of the structure and function of the heart and aorta, and it is easy to operate and worthy of clinical application.
