Cardiac Transplantation Pathology Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: Reperfusion of irreversibly-damaged cells post-MI may result in _____ influx, leading to hypercontraction of myofibrils (contraction band necrosis)

Answer: Ca2+

Flashcard 2: Reperfused myocardium shows _____ contraction bands on light microscopy.

Answer: eosinophilic

Flashcard 3: _____, secondary to rheumatic fever, is associated with Anitschkow cells, which are reactive histiocytes with slender, wavy nuclei

Answer: Myocarditis

Flashcard 4: In myocardial infarction, early neutrophil infiltration starts by _____ hours.

Answer: 12-24 hours

Extra: **Myocardial Infarction: Morphologic Changes Timeline** * **0-4 hours:** No gross changes; minimal microscopic changes (wavy fibers). * **4-12 hours:** Early coagulative necrosis, edema, hemorrhage. * **12-24 hours:** Ongoing coagulative necrosis; marginal contraction band necrosis; **beginning of neutrophilic infiltrate**. * **1-3 days:** Extensive coagulative necrosis; **brisk neutrophilic infiltrate**. * **3-7 days:** Macrophage infiltration at margins; phagocytosis of dead cells. * **7-10 days:** Well-developed phagocytosis; early granulation tissue at margins. * **10-14 days:** Well-established granulation tissue with new blood vessels and collagen deposition. * **2-8 weeks:** Increased collagen deposition and decreased vascularity (scarring). * **>2 months:** Dense collagenous scar.
