A #diagnosis of myocardial infarction is created by integrating the history of the presenting illness and physical examination with #electrocardiogram findings and cardiac markers.
#Contraction band necrosis is a type of uncontrolled cell death (necrosis) unique to cardiac myocytes and thought to arise in reperfusion from #hypercontraction, which results in sarcolemmal rupture.
#Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms and in some eukaryotic, single-celled #microorganisms such as yeast.
#Metaplasia is the transformation of one differentiated cell type to another differentiated cell type. The change from one type of cell to another may be part of a normal #maturation process, or caused by some sort of abnormal stimulus.
