Table 1 Semiquantitative echocardiographic algorithm for total calcium scoring of the aortic valve and mitral annulus
| Calcium scoring variable | Score |
| Posterior mitral annular calcification | None = 0 |
| 1/3 calcified = 1 | |
| 2/3 calcified = 2 | |
| 3/3 calcified = 3 | |
| Posterior mitral leaflet restriction | No = 0; yes = 1 |
| Anterior mitral annular calcification | No = 0; yes = 1 |
| Anterior mitral leaflet restriction | No = 0; yes = 1 |
| Mitral valve calcification | No = 0 |
| Mild = 1 | |
| More than mild = 2 | |
| Subvalvular mitral apparatus calcification | No = 0; yes = 1 |
| Aortic valve calcification | None = 0 |
| Nodules in < 3 leaflets = 1 | |
| Nodules in 3 leaflets = 2 | |
| Leaflet restriction = 3 | |
| Aortic root calcification | No = 0; yes = 1 |
| Total | 13 |
