Papillarmuskel im linken Ventrikel in der Computertomografie axial und koronar.
Verkalkungen
an den Spitzen der Papillarmuskeln der Mitralklappe. Darstellung in der Computertomographie. Man erkennt auch Kalk an der Klappe selbst.

Cardiac Calcification Syndrome: A Rare Case of Extensive Calcification of Left Ventricular Papillary Muscle: (a) Multidetector computed tomography demonstrated a spindle-like extensive calcification of anterolateral papillary muscle (arrow); (b) diffuse mild stenosis with calcified plaques in proximal portion of left anterior descending coronary artery disease and mild segmental stenosis with calcified plaques in proximal portion of obtuse marginal artery (arrow).
Papillary muscle calcification in the heart small amounts can be a common finding in elderly patients and are often located at the apex. Large calcifications involving the papillary muscles are, however, rare. They have been associated with conditions such as:
- coronary artery disease
- dilated cardiomyopathy
- mitral valve disease
- hypercalcemia
- increased calcium phosphate product in end stage renal disease
History and etymology
Papillary muscle calcification are thought to be first reported radiographically in 1974 .
