Cardiovascular Pathology ICase 1 • 55-year old man with crushing chest pain radiating to the left shoulder
Identify the organ, structures Describe the gross morphologic changes Diagnosis?
Right Ventricle • Left Ventricle • C. Anterior surface Acute Myocardial infarction of left ventricle The mixture of pale myocardium (thin arrow) and hemorrhage (thick arrow) highlight the infarcted tissue. The asterix points out the non-infarcted myocardium.
Congested capillaries Acute inflammation 4x objective myocardium
neutrophils Necrotic myocytes have lost nucei and cross-striations

Acute Myocardial infarction of the anterior left ventricle and septum is delineated by an area of dark, red-brown hemorrhage P = posterior Heart has been fixed in formalin

Acute Myocardial infarction Cross section of the left ventricle shows an extensive, circumferential acute myocardial infarction. The asterix points out the non-infarcted myocardium.

Healed myocardial Infarction Cross section of the Heart (two halves): A. Right Ventricle B. Left Ventricle. Arrows point to healed myocardial infarction.

Myocardial Infarction extending to the papillary muscle The arrow points to a partial rupture of the muscle. Asterix denotes mitral valve leaflet.

Myocardial rupture Longitudinal section of the heart. The thick arrow points to the site of rupture of the apex of the left ventricle. The rupture occured secondary to an acute transmural infarction. The thin arrows outline the pericardial sac which is filled with blood • Left atrium • Mitral valve • Left ventricle
