Acute Myocardial Infarct
Acute Myocardial Infarct

View is of the superior surface of a transverse section of the heart with the anterior surface facing upward, and the IV septum on the right margin. A small bit of the right ventricle and cavity is seen in the right lower corner.
Note the extensive infarct involving the anterior and lateral walls of the left ventricle, and the anterior tip of the IV septum.
Note that the infarct is transmural at the junction of the anterior wall and septum (arrow).
