Need more info: Is there a cartilage mass (chondroma) on the breastbone / spine pushing on the heart? Is this someone's description of calcification of a valve ring or fibrosis of a valve leaflet? You have the right to know the scientific / medical term for what's been diagnosed. Somebody here will be glad to help.
