KROK 1 2008 – Question 44 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathomorphology
Examination of coronary arteries revealed atherosclerotic calcified plaques closing vessel lumen by 1/3. The muscle has multiple whitish layers of connective tissue. What process was revealed in the myocardium?
- A. Myocarditis
- B. Tiger heart
- C. Myocardium infarction
- D. Diffusive cardiosclerosis
- E. Postinfarction cardiosclerosis
Hint
Narrowing of the coronary lumen causes chronic ischaemia of the heart muscle; think about what many small whitish scars scattered through the myocardium, rather than one big scar, signify.
