(Created page with "'''Staining''': HE '''Organ''': Myocardium '''Description''': We can see four parts of the myocardium with different morphology. We’ll divide them into four zones to make explanation easier. See the figure below to see the different zones. The first zone is at the bottom of the slide. Here we can see the three typical signs of myocardial hypertrophy: enlarged nuclei, increased lipofuscin and interstitial fibrosis. The second zone is the bulk of the slide. Here we...")

The second zone is the bulk of the slide. Here we can see the lack of nuclei.


The third zone is between the first and second zones and between the second and fourth zones. Here we can see many vessels containing RBCs, as well as fibroblasts and fibrosis.

The first zone was untouched by the infarct but is hypertrophied. Hypertrophy could have been an important factor in the infarct.


The second zone is where the infarct happened. Necrosis is visible due to the lack of nuclei.

Organization is seen in the recent phase (from 1-2 days to 1 week) of myocardial infarct.
Organization is seen in the recent phase (from 1-2 days to 1 week) of myocardial infarct.
