[Influence of the duration of development and of the size on the histological aspect of myocardial infarct].
The morphologic patterns observed in 37 cases of myocardial infarction seem to depend on two factors: 1. The time factor, making it possible to contrast the homogeneous, simple or complex forms with the unhomogeneous forms, the age of which is difficult to assess. 2. The extension factor of infarction which makes the unhomogenous patterns very complex in the cases in which necrosis exceeded 30%. In other words, it seems that in these cases, histological examination does not make it possible to date with accuracy the onset of myocardial infarction, except in very early or very late stages.
