[Pathomorphological changes in lungs in acute periods of myocardial infarction]
Abstract:
With the aid of morphological methods of investigation, the structure of the lungs was studied in those deceased persons having been ill with myocardial infarction and also in rats simulated with acute coronary failure. Comparison of results of studies made in autopsy and experimental material has shown that in the lungs occur certain stereotype structural changes which reflect abnormalities of lipid metabolism and manifest itself by fat microembolism of vessels of the microcirculatory bed and by accumulation of unemulsified fats in the interalveolar septa and alveolar lumens.
