Dystrophic myocardial calcification.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Myocardial calcification is rare and occurs in previous myocardial infarction, endomyocardial fibrosis, and infections such as tuberculosis, chronic renal failure, or hyperparathyroidism. We present an interesting case of massive myocardial calcification of the left ventricle following prior extensive myocardial infarction, presenting as progressive heart failure.

Neonatal Enterovirus Myocarditis With Severe Dystrophic Calcification: Novel Treatment With Pocapavir
Dystrophic myocardial calcification occurs in the setting of myocardial injury and normal serum calcium. We present a case of a neonate with prominent dystrophic calcification and severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction in the setting of enterovirus myocarditis. These findings are superbly illustrated by multiple imaging modalities. The patient was treated with the novel antiviral, pocapav...
متن کاملHistologic Sequelae of Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Dystrophic Calcification
We present cardiac computed tomography (CT) findings demonstrating apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with dystrophic calcification of the left ventricular apex. The absence of significant epicardial coronary artery disease demonstrated by coronary CT angiography suggests that increased wall tension and decreased microvascular perfusion over time account for the dyskinetic apical myocardium, ra...

Myocardial calcification can be subdivided into three groups-metastatic, dystrophic or an extension inwards from the pericardium. This case in which the calcified myocardial mass was initially delineated by radiography and by echocardiography...
متن کاملIdentification of Abcc6 as the major causal gene for dystrophic cardiac calcification in mice through integrative genomics.
The genetic factors contributing to the complex disorder of myocardial calcification are largely unknown. Using a mouse model, we fine-mapped the major locus (Dyscalc1) contributing to the dystrophic cardiac calcification (DCC) to an 840-kb interval containing 38 genes. We then identified the causal gene by using an approach integrating genetic segregation and expression array analyses to ident...

A 21 years old woman presented with a history of SLE and skin lesions on the arms, trunk, and abdomen. The left gluteal region was ulcerated and painful and occasionally extruded a chalky white material. The patient referred from rheumatology department for osteomyelitis assessment. On physical examination the patient had hard, nontender lesions on the proximal arms, lower abdomen and low...
