Extensive myocardial calcification following cytokine release syndrome and sepsis: a novel case report with advanced echocardiographic assessment

This is the first reported case of rapidly progressive myocardial calcification associated with CRS, documented using advanced non-invasive imaging modalities such as GLS and myocardial work. These techniques enabled early detection and objective assessment of functional decline in a critically ill patient, in whom conventional diagnostic options were limited.

Abstract

This is the first reported case of rapidly progressive myocardial calcification associated with CRS, documented using advanced non-invasive imaging modalities such as GLS and myocardial work. These techniques enabled early detection and objective assessment of functional decline in a critically ill patient, in whom conventional diagnostic options were limited.
