We report a rare case of massive myocardial calcification in a 42-year-old male who presented with symptoms of congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Myocardial calcification is most commonly associated with myocardial infarction or, less commonly, hypercalcemia. This case is particularly unusual due to the lack of any known predisposing risk factors, including normal coronary arteries, normal renal function, and normal serum calcium levels. Alternative etiologies are discussed accompanied by a review of the literature.
我们报告了一例罕见的 42 岁男性心肌钙化病例,该患者出现充血性心力衰竭和心律失常症状。心肌钙化最常见于心肌梗死,较少见于高钙血症。由于缺乏任何已知的易患风险因素,包括正常冠状动脉、正常肾功能和正常血清钙水平,该病例尤其不寻常。讨论了其他可能的病因,并对文献进行了回顾。
