Popis: Massive myocardial calcification is a very rare finding usually associated with previous myocardial infarction, ventricular aneurysms, myocarditis, endomyocardial fibrosis, tuberculosis and systemic metabolic disease such as sarcoidosis and primary hyperoxaluria. Rarely, it can be associated with idiopathic mitral annular calcification or rheumatic heart disease. We report an unusual case of massive myocardial calcification without other predisposing factors and with documented disease progression.
