Demonstrates the use of roentgenography and cineangiography to diagnose uncommon interventricular septal calcification, differentiating it from potentially treatable pericarditis.

May aid differentiation of rare septal calcification from pericarditis; leaves open generalizability beyond this single case.
Myocardial calcification involving the interventricular septum was demonstrated in a 49-year-old man by roentgenography and cineangiography. Such a condition is relatively uncommon; it is, however, important that a correct diagnosis be made in order to differentiate this from calcifications seen in pericarditis, a condition which is potentially amenable to therapy.
