Massive Myocardial Necrosis with Calcification

Report of Two Cases of Possible Hypokalemic Etiology

MARGARET S. LITTMAN M.D.¹ W. R. MEADOWS M.D.¹

¹ From the Laboratory and Medical Services, Veterans Administration Hospital, Hines, Illinois, and the Department of Medicine, Stritch School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois.

The clinical and autopsy observations on two cases with myocardial necrosis and calcification are presented. In each case there also was subacute membranous and proliferative glomerulonephritis.

The myocardial lesions closely resemble those produced experimentally by potassium depletion and differ from those in other myocardial necroses.
