ABSTRACT
Myocardial calcification is usually classified as either dystrophic or metastatic. Dystrophic calcification is more common and usually occurs in the area of prior myocardial infarction. It is found in 8% of patients who have been survived longer than 6 years after myocardial infarction. The most common site of calcification is in the anterior wall of the left ventricle or apical and anterolateral aspect in the aneurysm of the left ventricle. We report the case of a 50-years old man with a typical dystrophic calcification of the endocardium in area of myocardial necrosis.
