Rapidly progressive left ventricular myocardial calcification is a rarely reported phenomenon of severe sepsis and renal failure usually occurring over weeks.
Pathology
The exact etiology is not well known although some attribute it to the release of cardio-suppressing mediators with calcium-phosphate metabolic alterations related to inflammation and acute renal injury. It may represent a combination of dystrophic and metastatic calcification 2.
