KROK 1 2007 – Question 65 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathomorphology
Examination of coronary arteries revealed atherosclerotic calcific plaques that close vessel lumen by 1/3. The muscle has multiple whitish layers of connective tissue. What process was revealed in myocardium?
- A. Tiger heart
- B. Postinfarction cardiosclerosis
- C. Myocarditis
- D. Myocardium infarction
- E. Diffuse cardiosclerosis
Hint
A lumen narrowed by only about a third causes chronic ischaemia, not sudden occlusion; ask whether that gives one big scar or many small connective-tissue streaks.
