FIGURE 3

Histopathological findings of hearts from mice that had been freshly culled after MI. The images presented were from nine hearts of mice culled on days 3–5 after MI, and the sections were stained using either the Carstair’s method or the H&E method. Open arrows point in the direction of the LV chamber. (A) The presence of transmural or non-transmural rupture and intramural thrombi (arrowheads) that are closely linked with LVT (*). (B) The presence of a ventricular thrombus that contained platelet-fibrin portion (*) adjacent to the infarct wall. (C) Platelet-rich thrombi (arrowheads) either rooted in the erosive wall or stemmed from the infarct wall. Note the dense inflammatory cells surrounding the thrombus.
