Extensive myocardial dystrophic calcification is rare and indicates a poor prognosis with a risk of arrhythmia and recurrent heart failure. We present a long term survivor of extensive myocardial infarction presenting as myocardial calcification related unstable ventricular tachycardia needing an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
