Abstract :
A 60-year-old previously hypertensive gentlemen presented with progressive dyspnea. Electrocardiography showed atrial fibrillation with left bundle branch block. Cardiac catheterization revealed normal coronary arteries, severe aortic and mitral regurgitation. Despite mild calcification of aortic valve we noted a band-like calcification arising from aortic valve, extending into and outlining the bundle of His, and probably proximal part of the left bundle (Fig. 1, 2, Video 1.
