Abstract
The pathological hallmark of acute MI is coagulative necrosis of the myocardium. All recent advances in the definition, diagnostic work-up and treatment of MI are essential to perform an informative pathological investigation. In fatal MI, the pathological study must be performed at the appropriate technical and interpretative level to confirm, extend and improve information useful for the clinical understanding of the event (why one infarction proves fatal while other clinically similar MIs are not) and, eventually, contribute towards improving knowledge that may help future research in the MI setting.
