File:IPLab3AcuteMyocardialInfarction1a.JPG|This is a ~~low-power photomicrograph~~ of ~~infarcted~~ heart. ~~There is a layer of surviving myocardial tissue~~ (1) ~~along~~ the ~~epicardium and then a blue line (2) which represents~~ the ~~accumulation~~ of ~~inflammatory cells at~~ the ~~border~~ of the ~~infarct. There is thrombotic material~~ (3) ~~adherent to the endocardial surface~~.

File:IPLab3AcuteMyocardialInfarction1a.JPG|This is a gross photo of the heart at autopsy after the left ventricle was opened. Note the thrombotic material (T) that is present within the left ventricular lumen over the area of infarction. On the cut edge of the left ventricular free wall you can see the areas of hemorrhage and the pale myocardium indicative of an acute myocardial infarction (arrows).

There is a layer of surviving myocardial tissue (1) along the epicardium and then a blue line (2) which represents the accumulation of inflammatory cells at the border of the infarct. There is thrombotic material (3) adherent to the endocardial surface.File:IPLab3AcuteMyocardialInfarction2b.~~JPG~~|This is a higher-power photomicrograph which shows more clearly the viable tissue along the epicardium (1), the blue line of inflammatory cells (2), and the infarcted myocardium (3).

File:IPLab3AcuteMyocardialInfarction3b.JPG|This is a photomicrograph of the edge of the infarct with normal tissue on the left (1). The accumulation of inflammatory cells (2) is at the edge of the infarcted tissue (3).

File:IPLab3AcuteMyocardialInfarction4b.JPG|This is a higher-power photomicrograph of the edge of the infarct. The accumulation of inflammatory cells is on the left (1) and the infarcted tissue is on the right (2). Note that intact cells can be seen in the infarct but there are no nuclei.
