Coagulative necrosis is a type of accidental cell death typically caused by ischemia or infarction. In coagulative necrosis, the architectures of dead tissue are preserved for at least a couple of days. [1] It is believed that the injury denatures structural proteins as well as lysosomal enzymes, thus blocking the proteolysis of the damaged cells.
Myocardial infarction complications may occur immediately following a myocardial infarction (heart attack) (in the acute phase), or may need time to develop (a chronic problem). After an infarction, an obvious complication is a second infarction, which may occur in the domain of another atherosclerotic coronary artery, or in the same zone if ...
Micrograph of a myocardial infarction (ca. 400x H&E stain ) with prominent contraction band necrosis. Histopathological examination of the heart may reveal infarction at autopsy . Gross examination may reveal signs of myocardial infarction.
It was first described in medical literature by Schlesinger and Reiner in 1955. [1] 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 ...
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.
[1] Warfarin necrosis is a rare but severe complication of treatment with warfarin or related anticoagulants. [2] The typical patient appears to be an obese, middle aged woman (median age 54 years, male to female ratio 1:3). [1] [3]: 122–3 This drug eruption usually occurs between the third and tenth days of therapy with warfarin derivatives. [1]
A myocardial infarction (2) has occurred with blockage of a branch of the left coronary artery (1). A myocardial infarction, according to current consensus, is defined by elevated cardiac biomarkers with a rising or falling trend and at least one of the following: [82] Symptoms relating to ischemia
[1] The condition can be caused by full-thickness necrosis (death) of the myocardium (heart muscle) after myocardial infarction, chest trauma, [2] and by over-prescription of anticoagulants. [3] [4] Other causes include ruptured aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva and other aneurysms of the aortic arch. [5]
