JACC Case Rep. 2024 Nov 20;29(22):102759. doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2024.102759.

Abstract

Orthotopic liver transplantation has been rarely associated with myocardial calcification; no prior cases of asymptomatic calcification have been documented. We present the unique finding of asymptomatic myocardial calcification following orthotopic liver transplantation.

Keywords: acute myocarditis with wall calcification; asymptomatic myocardial calcification; cardiac sequelae post liver transplantation; orthotopic liver transplantation.
