scarred myocardium
Explanation:
What was called "Schwielenherz" in older publications about infants (see David's references) is mostly Keshan disease (cardiomyopathy secondary to Coxsackie virus infection in a baby suffering from selenium deficiency).

For a more "modern" use of Schwielenherz, the ICD lists "Schwielenherz" as one of the options of previous myocardial infarction (I25.29; see http://icdscout.de/ICD2010/I25).
There is no precise correspondence in the American ICD list (e.g. http://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/I00-I99/I20-I25/I25-/... ), just a mention of "scar, scarring" (bottom of page), that's all).

agree  David Tracey, PhD: I'll go with your more 'modern' use...

  -> Thanks David (but no need to hide your answer)! Probably, the "modern" use is still merely a tribute to eminences grisés in pathology; I have never heard or read that word in actual clinical practice :-)
agree  Steffen Walter: Ja, gut möglich :-) Die bei der Suche als erstes auftauchenden Quellen gehen doch sehr weit zurück.

  -> Danke Steffen! (Anscheinend schreibt da ja jemand aus der Zeit, als die optische Lichtmikroskopie noch das Maß aller Dinge und die Pathologen Lichtgestalten waren – siehe "Strumifikation" in Sonjas anderer Frage ;-)
agree  Harald Moelzer (medical-translator)
