Imaging findings
Serial chest CT scans show rapidly progressive, dense calcification of the left ventricular myocardium developing over a few days in a patient with pancreatitis, sepsis, and transient acute renal failure.
Key takeaways
Rapid myocardial calcification is a rare, highly dramatic condition associated with severe sepsis, myocardial injury, and transient renal failure. It represents acute dystrophic calcification of injured myocytes and can occur diffusely throughout the left ventricle.
