•View of transverse section of heart from above.
Anterior surface faces upwards, thick left ventricle
on the left, right ventricle on right.
•Note area of myocardial pallor (2 arrows) mostly to
the left of the left ventricular cavity involving
less than 1/2 of the wall thickness. This is due to
a dense interstitial infiltrate of inflammatory cells.
•The normal appearing red myocardium elsewhere could
also show microscopic infiltrates, which are not
dense enough to see grossly.
