Echocardiographic syndrome (so called old man's heart) was found most often in persons with high blood pressure (with hypertonic heart) in coronaropaths, and those with acquired, post-rheumatic heart failures. Many of morpho-functional changes, which are characterised with the abundant calcifications, we have observed from the aspect of one-dimensional and two-dimensional echocardiographic visualisation, with the special review to localisation, size and expanse, as well as the possible complications caused by that.
