Multimodality imaging aids detection of rare idiopathic myocardial calcification in heart failure; extends limited case evidence but leaves etiology and management open.
Case Report (n=1)
Multimodality imaging with CMR and CT is crucial for diagnosing and characterizing rare cases of massive idiopathic myocardial calcification.
Revilla et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Massive idiopathic myocardial calcification (n=1). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance and cardiac CT was evaluated on Diagnosis of massive idiopathic myocardial calcification. Multimodality imaging with CMR and cardiac CT identified a massive idiopathic myocardial calcification forming a full calcium jacket in a 57-year-old man presenting with heart failure.
