Figure 3

A short axis midventricular section shown on cMRI and histopathology in a rabbit with 48-hours reperfused MI. A: DE-MRI shows a hyperenhanced transmural zone at the anterior lateral wall with sporadic hypointense spots corresponding to intramural hemorrhage. B: The pale region with dark red spots on TTC histochemically stained section corresponds to hyperenhanced region with hypointense spots on DE-MRI. Dashed square indicates where microscopy was focused. C: microscopic view (magnification×100) of HE stained slide proves the presence of reperfused hemorrhagic acute MI. h: hemorrhagic infarction; m: adjacent myocardium with inflammatory infiltration.
