Different diseases are associated with coagulative necrosis, including acute tubular necrosis and acute myocardial infarction. [2] Coagulative necrosis can also be induced by high local temperature; it is a desired effect of treatments such as high intensity focused ultrasound applied to cancerous cells. [3]
In particular, acute myocardial infarction in the distribution of the circumflex artery is likely to produce a nondiagnostic ECG. [10] The use of additional ECG leads like right-sided leads V3R and V4R and posterior leads V7, V8, and V9 may improve sensitivity for right ventricular and posterior myocardial infarction.

Necrosis begins after 20 minutes of an infarction. Under 4 hours of ischemia, there are no gross or microscopic changes noted. [2] From 4-24 hours coagulative necrosis begins to be seen, which is characterized by the removal of dead cardiomyocytes through heterolysis and the nucleus through karyorrhexis, karyolysis, and pyknosis. [3]
It is considered a type of cellular necrosis. [1] Two types of myocytolysis have been defined: coagulative and colliquative. [1] [2] [3] Coagulative myocytolysis appears in the myocardium near areas of coagulative necrosis or areas affected by myocardial infarction. [2]
Contraction band necrosis is a type of uncontrolled cell death unique to cardiac myocytes and thought to arise in reperfusion from hypercontraction, which results in sarcolemmal rupture. [ 1 ] It is a characteristic histologic finding of a recent myocardial infarction (heart attack) that was partially reperfused.
The analysis of both tests thus helps to diagnose certain disorders. [ 10 ] Blood transfusion involves the transfer of plasma containing all the necessary coagulating factors ( fibrinogen , prothrombin , thromboplastin ) to help restore them and to improve the immune defense of the patient after excessive blood loss.
Fibrinoid necrosis is a pathological lesion that affects blood vessels, and is characterized by the occurrence of endothelial damage, followed by leakage of plasma proteins, including fibrinogen, from the vessel lumen; these proteins infiltrate and deposit within the vessel walls, where fibrin polymerization subsequently ensues. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Micrograph showing contraction band necrosis, a histopathologic finding of myocardial infarction (heart attack). Histopathology (compound of three Greek words: ἱστός histos 'tissue', πάθος pathos 'suffering', and -λογία-logia 'study of') is the microscopic examination of tissue in order to study the manifestations of disease.
