Cineradiographic Recognition of Papillary Muscle Calcification

Oscar B. Garfein M.D.1; Richard D. Mau M.D.1; and Seiichi Shimomura M.D., F.C.C.P.1

Calcification of the posteromedial papillary muscle secondary to infarction is reported.

We suspect that with the increased cineangiographic evaluation of coronary artery disease this finding will be appreciated with greater frequency.
