[The mechanism of the development of a fat microembolism in myocardial infarct].
It was found out with the aid of morphological methods that during the acute phase of myocardial infarction there develops fat embolism of the vascular bed of not only pulmonary circulation but also systemic circulation. One of the sources of fat embolism is the degenerated myocardium: during the process of its contraction fat drops move out of the cardiomyocytes and may penetrate into the capillary network.
