Myocardial calcifications: pathophysiology, etiologies, differential diagnoses, and imaging findings.

John W Nance1, Genevieve M Crane2, Marc K Halushka2, Elliot K Fishman1, Stefan L Zimmerman3.   

Abstract

Myocardial calcifications are not uncommonly encountered by the cardiac imager and may have a range of imaging appearances, from focal calcific deposits to diffuse myocardial involvement. A number of pathological processes can both cause and result from myocardial calcification; therefore, accurate identification and characterization are important. This pictorial essay will review the mechanisms, etiologies, imaging features, and differential diagnoses of myocardial calcification with imaging examples.
