Abstract

Myocardial calcification can develop owing to several conditions. It is a rare complication following sepsis and renal failure. We report a case of rapid development of left ventricular mid-wall calcification observed using CT and cardiac MRI in a patient after recovery from sepsis and acute renal failure.

심근 석회화는 다양한 원인으로 인해서 발생할 수 있다. 하지만 패혈증과 신부전으로 인해서 발생하는 경우는 흔하지 않다. 저자들은 컴퓨터단층촬영과 자기공명영상에서 패혈증과 신부전을 회복한 환자에서 급속하게 좌심실벽에 미만성 석회화를 보이는 증례를 보고하고자 한다.
