[Anatomoclinical correlation of various forms of myocardial lesions in ischemic cardiopathy]
Abstract:
The frequency of the different types of cellular necrosis in patients who died of myocardial infarction was investigated, in search of a possible correlation between the various types of myocardial necrosis and the clinical history and death characteristics of the patients. The significance of the microscopic alterations as a manifestations of the physiopathologic derangements was analyzed. Clinically, the time of appearance of pump failure with recognizable manifestations of cardiac failure or shock, arrhythmias, myocardial rupture or rupture of other cardiac structures, infarct extention or sudden death was recorded. Pathologically, coagulative necrosis was considered an obligatory finding for study.
