LM of section whole heart showing LV infarct
Infarcted left ventricle: light micrograph of a section through the ventricles of a whole human heart, showing an area of infarction (muscle necrosis or death) on the outer wall of the left ventricle. The smaller right ventricle appears at left, with the larger left ventricle to the right. Healthy myocardium (heart muscle) stains a light pink, with an even pattern througout the full thickness of the wall (see the top of the left ventricle, for example). Infarcted muscle stains a brighter red, or in some parts, blue, occupying a significant part of the outer wall of the left ventricle. Magnification: x1 at 3x5- inch original size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a section through the ventricles of a whole human heart, revealing an area of infarction on the outer wall of the left ventricle. The light micrograph captures the essence of this medical condition known as myocardial infarction or heart attack. The image portrays two distinct chambers: the smaller right ventricle positioned at the left side and the larger left ventricle occupying most of the frame. The healthy myocardium, responsible for pumping blood throughout our body, is depicted in a delicate shade of pink with a consistent pattern across its entire thickness. Contrasting against this vibrant backdrop lies an eye-catching display of brighter red and occasional blue hues that signify muscle necrosis or death caused by infarction. This affected region occupies a significant portion on the outer wall of the left ventricle, emphasizing both its severity and impact on cardiac function. With magnification set at x1 and presented in its original 3x5-inch size, this photograph offers an up-close examination into one aspect of cardiovascular health. It serves as a powerful visual aid for medical professionals studying diseases, conditions, and disorders related to cardiac health while reminding us all about the importance of maintaining a healthy heart through proper care and prevention strategies.
