Heart tissue death. Light micrograph (LM) of infarcted (dead) human heart muscle (myocardium) from the left ventricle, revealing the fibrous repair process that occurs in surviving cases. In myocardial infarction (heart attack), an obstruction in a major coronary artery results in the death of a significant section of heart muscle, often in the left ventricle. Here, necrotic heart muscle fibres appear densely stained dark red. In between the necrotic fibres are bands of yellow-staining fibrous tissue.
