Low Magnesium Levels and FGF-23 Dysregulation Predict Mitral Valve Calcification as well as Intima Media Thickness in Predialysis Diabetic Patients

<div>Echocardiographic findings: (a) parasternal incidence long axis, mitral valve M-mode, fibrotic leaflets, with limited leaflet excursion mobility, and annular calcification; (b) apical 2-chamber view, left LV, LA, mitral valve with fibrotic leaflet, and subvalvular apparatus and annular calcification; (c) apical 4-chamber view, LV, LA, RV, RA, mitral valve with fibrotic leaflet, and subvalvular apparatus and annular calcification.</div>
