Morphological variants of acute myocardial necrosis and their relationship to coronary artery thrombosis.
This communication describes the two chief morphological variants of acute myocardial necrosis and discusses the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying them. The frequency of occlusive thrombosis in anatomically related coronary arteries in acute regional infarction is stressed.
