Dystrophic myocardial calcification
Myocardial calcification is rare and occurs in previous myocardial infarction, endomyocardial fibrosis, and infections such as tuberculosis, chronic renal failure, or hyperparathyroidism. We present an interesting case of massive myocardial calcification

A heart set in stone: A case of extensive cardiac calcification
Massive endocardial calcification is a rare entity. We describe a rare disease endomyocardial fibrosis associated with massive calcification of the left ventricle suspected on a chest X-ray and confirmed by echocardiography and computed tomography in an ...

Impact of treatment on myocardial lysyl oxidase expression and collagen cross-linking in patients with heart failure [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate whether torasemide modifies collagen cross-linking in the failing human heart. We analyzed the degree of cross-linking and the expression of the enzyme lysyl oxidase, which regulates cross-linking, in the ...

Doughnut appearance of left ventricle in isolated left ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis
A 55-year-old female presented with worsening dyspnea secondary to left ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF). Obliteration of left ventricular apex and hypertrophied papillary muscle gave the classical appearance of a “doughnut” on left ventricular ...

Sex-dependent differences in left ventricular function and structure in chronic pressure overload [PDF]
To evaluate gender-related differences in left ventricular (LV) structure and function in aortic stenosis, LV biplane cineangiography, micromanometry and endomyocardial biopsies were carried out in 56 patients with aortic stenosis and normal coronary ...
