Abstract

Extensive myocardial calcification occurred in an adult woman with hypercalcemia treated with large doses of prednisone and sodium phosphate. The findings are presented and compared with similar findings in experimental calciphylaxis. Further investigation is needed to determine the relation of steroid and phosphate therapy to the production of myocardial calcification in man.
