Figure 6From: Ultrasound imaging versus morphopathology in cardiovascular diseases. Myocardial cell damageColliquative myocytolysis associated with acute myocardial infarct. The lesion is confined in layers of the subendocardial myocardium (A) or around functioning vessels (B). These layers are preserved by the infarct necrosis as shown (C) in a perivascular myocardial layer around a vessel in an old infarct without congestive heart failure.Back to article page
