    As soon as the first 24 hours of experimental myocardial infarction in rats the "intact" portions of the left ventricle displayed an increase in volume and mean amount of the elements of the connective tissue stroma of the heart. On the second day of the experiment these indices reached the maximum, and on the 20th day--they were similar to those in the control animals myocardium. On the 3rd day the number of muscle nuclei per standard section area proved to increase; this can be attributed to the amitotic division of the myocyte nuclei, since the number of double nuclei increased at the same periods.

    Structure of Cardiac Muscles

    Cardiac muscle, or myocardium, is a specialized type of muscle found exclusively in the heart. Its unique structural and functional characteristics enable the heart to perform its vital role of pumping blood throughout the body continuously and rhythmically. The cardiac muscle cells, or cardiomyocytes, possess an endomysium and perimysium but do not have an epimysium.
    Compared to skeletal muscles, cardiac muscle cells are small and mostly have a single nucleus. Additionally, they are usually...

    Myocarditis I: Introduction

    Myocarditis is inflammation of the myocardium, which is the muscular layer of the heart.EtiologyMyocarditis has a diverse etiology, including a wide range of infectious and non-infectious causes:Infectious CausesViral: Common viruses include Coxsackie A and B, adenovirus, parvovirus B19, enteroviruses, and influenza A.Bacterial: Examples include infections caused by Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Mycoplasma species.Rickettsial: Infections like Rocky Mountain spotted fever can result in...
