Microscopic evaluation

In case of myocardial fibrosis, attempt to distinguish between the following:

  • Interstitial fibrosis, which is nonspecific,[1] (and may simply reported as such).[notes 1]
  • Replacement fibrosis, which indicates an older infarction.[1]

Unspecific myocardial fibrosis may simply be reported as such.

Notes

  1. ↑ Interstitial fibrosis has been described in congestive heart failure, hypertension, and normal aging. (Chute, 2019)
