Abstract
The paper reports a lethal outcome of recurrent myocardial infarction in a male patient who in 1996 survived a massive infarction of the right ventricle posterior wall resulting in formation of a giant petrificate with a softening in the center. Connective tissue growth and cardiomyocytic atrophy was histologically revealed in the surrounding tissue. The patient died in 1999 of the infarction of the anterior wall of the left ventricle.
