Myocardial Infarction, Old (Microscopic) |
|
|
| Microscopy of myocardium stained with H & E,
with an old (over 4 weeks) infarction with fibrosis and some blood vessels, but with very
few inflammatory cells. The unaffected cardiomyocytes have normal nuclei and cross
striations (sarcomeres) in the cytoplasm. Note: Robbins and Cotran shows the evolution of morphologic changes with myocardial infarctions very well. |
