scarred myocardium

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)

calloused heart

not an official term, but would be a good description of the atherosclerosis
Peer comment(s):

neutral Anne Schulz : may be suitable more for a biblical than for a medical context ("They close up their callous hearts, and their mouths speak with arrogance – Ps 17:10")
