ABSTRACT
Myocardial calcifications (MCs) are a fatal condition that often complicates ischemic heart disease, cardiac surgery, rheumatic fever, or myocarditis. To date, cases where myocardial calcifications result from a septic state have rarely been reported. In this paper, we describe the primary imaging findings and discuss both proven and hypothetical mechanisms of MCs in the context of sepsis.
