[Histochemical-metric combination technique for the diagnostic of the acute heart failure (author's transl)]

With the combined use of the hematoxylin-basic fuchsin-picric acid staining (HBFP-staining) and sarcomere measurement of the length a new staining-metric technique for the myocardiac investigation is represented. It completes both the conventional macroscopical and histological methods and the diagnosis of a general or regional myocardiac dilatation, for instance in early infarct, acute failure of the right heart or in special intoxications can be decisively improved.
