Key result
Severe pneumogenic sepsis is linked to rapid, extensive myocardial calcification within 10 weeks.
Why the study?
Severe sepsis as a possible cause of rapid myocardial calcification and its dynamic development over a short time span is not well documented.

Rapid myocardial calcification may follow severe pneumogenic sepsis; leaves open prevalence, mechanisms, and clinical relevance.
Kunz et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Severe sepsis and myocardial calcification (n=1). Severe sepsis was evaluated on Development of myocardial calcifications. Severe pneumogenic sepsis was associated with the rapid development of extensive myocardial calcifications within a time span of merely 10 weeks.
