With the onset of ischemia, the length of myocardial segments increases rapidly, distorting ventricular geometry. Permanent stretching and thinning of infarcted zones have been termed infarct expansion. Although these changes are noted within minutes in vivo, infarct expansion may not be seen for days in postmortem preparations. The apparent postmortem reversal of early infarct expansion suggests that early expansion may be a functional phenomenon, reversible in the early hours of infarction. Alternatively, reversal of expansion may be a postmortem artifact, concealing the importance of underlying structural abnormalities. |
