Key result
Autopsy links eruptive calcified LAD nodules to 3 temporally distinct myocardial infarctions.
Why the study?
The pathological basis and clinical implications of multiple calcified nodules associated with recurrent myocardial infarctions are not well understood.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report provides pathological insight into recurrent myocardial injury by visualizing multiple calcified nodules associated with recurrent distinct myocardial infarctions.
coronary syndrome.1 Although the absence of thrombus precludes lesion-specific attribution of the infarctions, this case demonstrates the coexistence of multiple LMT/LAD calcified nodules and 3 temporally distinct LAD-territory infarctions.Given the adverse prognosis of recurrent myocardial infarction, 2 these findings provide pathological insight into recurrent myocardial injury.

Nishino et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Myocardial Infarction (n=1). Multiple calcified nodules was evaluated on Pathological findings on autopsy. Autopsy of an 87-year-old woman revealed the coexistence of multiple eruptive calcified nodules in the left anterior descending artery and three temporally distinct myocardial infarctions.
