Reports of massive myocardial calcification are limited mainly to case reports and this type intracardiac calcifications have been usually identified postmortem. We present a very interesting case of massive calcification of the left ventricular myocardium, interventricular and interatrial septae causing restrictive physiology and coronary artery obstruction in a 46-year-old Turkish woman. The diagnosis of myocardial calcification was suspected from chest X-ray and confirmed with computerized tomography and cardiac catheterization. The findings of the chest computed tomography were very similar to those previously reported cases of endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) with massive calcification of the left ventricle.
关于大量心肌钙化的报道主要局限于病例报告，而且这种类型的心脏内钙化通常是在尸检时才得以确认。我们报告了一例非常有趣的病例，一名46岁的土耳其女性，其左心室心肌、室间隔和房间隔出现大量钙化，导致限制性生理改变和冠状动脉阻塞。通过胸部X线检查怀疑有心肌钙化，并经计算机断层扫描和心导管检查得以确诊。胸部计算机断层扫描的结果与先前报道的伴有左心室大量钙化的心肌内膜纤维化（EMF）病例非常相似。
