Abstract

We herein report the case of a 74-year-old man with recurrent transient ischemic attacks and falls who was found to have an unusual large mass of the interventricular septum. After extensive workup, isolated myocardial calcification was confirmed using multimodality cardiovascular imaging. This rare finding might be a reflecting cause of the patient's clinical presentation.

Keywords: Myocardial calcification; multimodality imaging; stroke.
