Gross Pathology

Myocardial infarction can be classified temporally from clinical and other features, as well as according to the pathological appearance as:[1]

  • Evolving phase of myocardial infarction: (>6 hours),
  • Acute phase of myocardial infarction: (6 hours – 7 days),
  • Healing phase of myocardial infarction: (7–28 days),
  • Healed phase of myocardial infarction: (29 days and beyond).

Time from Onset and Gross Morphologic Finding Relations:
