Necrosis of heart muscle. Result of myocardial infarction.
Tissue changes that occur in the myocardium after myocardial infarction are related to the extent to which the cells have been deprived of oxygen. Total deprivation results in an area of infarction, in which the cells die and the tissue becomes necrotic. Necrosis in this area is evident within 5 to 6 hours after the occlusion.

Hello Ceri,
could you please point me to the paper you are curating? Right now 'myocardial necrosis' seems to be beyond the scope of DO.

Zebrafish papers model the infarction and the necrosis that happens
in the tissue.

#89Hello Ceri,
thank you for the articles. No matter where and how I looked at 'myocardial necrosis', it cannot be classified as a disease, it is the result of a process.
In our latest version of DO (2833) we have an updated definition for the term 'myocardial infarction': "A coronary artery disease characterized by myocardial cell death (myocardial necrosis) due to prolonged ischaemia." (PMID:17951287)
I hope you can work with that.
Best,
Elvira
