Microscopic evaluation
In case of myocardial fibrosis, attempt to distinguish between the following:
- Interstitial fibrosis, which is nonspecific,[1] (and may simply reported as such).[notes 1]
- Replacement fibrosis, which indicates an older infarction.[1]
-
Healthy myocardium versus interstitial fibrosis in dilated cardiomyopathy.
-
Replacement fibrosis in myocardial infarction, being boundless and dense.
Unspecific myocardial fibrosis may simply be reported as such.
Notes
- ↑ Interstitial fibrosis has been described in congestive heart failure, hypertension, and normal aging. (Chute, 2019)
