Diffused calcification in a patient with long-term warfarin therapy: a case report.

Currently, patients with valvular atrial fibrillation or mechanical valve replacement have no other choice for anticoagulation medication except warfarin.

Therefore, close monitoring of such side effects in patients with long-term use of warfarin is warranted.
