Etiology of Reperfusion Injury
Blood flow is
significantly decreased,
and ischemia occurs
when >75% of the luminal
surface area is lost.
Necrosis of the
myocardium follows
when complete loss of
blood flow occurs for >20
mins.

Pathogenesis
The figures show normal heart tissue sections that do not demonstrate
fibrosis or hemorrhage. Cardiac myocytes have moderately sized centrally
located nuclei. Normal myocytes are not brightly eosinophilic. No
inflammation is seen. Normal cardiac myocytes do not show hypertrophy.
Histopathologic Morphology
The slide includes a transmural section of the anterior free wall and anterior portion of the
interventricular septum. Seen in the figure is a broad band of dense, highly collagenized scar tissue
replacing the middle layer of myocardium; patchy scarring interspersed with hypertrophied cardiac
myocytes is present on either side of this dense scar. The endocardium is markedly thickened and
there is organizing mural thrombus between cardiac trabeculae and extending into the lumen. Some
myocytes in the subendocardial layer show sarcoplasmic vacuolization, a chronic degenerative change
called "myocytolysis".

Compassionate Group
People living in low- and middle-income countries like the Philippines often do not have the
benefit of primary health care programmes for early detection and treatment of people with
risk factors for CVDs. People in low- and middle-income countries who suffer from CVDs and
other noncommunicable diseases have less access to effective and equitable health care
services which respond to their needs. As a result, for many people in these countries detection
is often late in the course of the disease and people die at a younger age from CVDs and other
noncommunicable diseases, often in their most productive years.
Education must be used to empower individuals to change their lifestyle and thus reduce their
cardiovascular risks. By applying these measures, we give autonomy to patients so that they
start to actively participate in healthcare, becoming authors of their outcome.
Thank You!
