| This myocardial infarction is about 3 to 4 days old. There is an extensive acute inflammatory cell infiltrate, and many neutrophils are undergoing karyorrhexis. The myocardial fibers are undergoing necrosis so that the outlines of them are not well defined. Few cross striations remain, and cell nuclei are no longer visible. The serum troponin would be elevated. |
