Microscopic evaluation
In case of myocardial fibrosis, attempt to distinguish between the following:
- Interstitial fibrosis, which is unspecific,[1] (and may simply reported as such).[notes 1]
- Subepicardial fibrosis, also unspecific (and may simply be reported as such).[notes 2]
- Replacement fibrosis, which indicates an older infarction.[1]
Reporting
Example (if uncertain whether there is replacement fibrosis or merely subepicardial fibrosis):
Fibrosis of mainly replacement-type which may indicate an older infarction. |
Notes
- ↑ Interstitial fibrosis has been described in congestive heart failure, hypertension, and normal aging. (Chute, 2019)
- ↑ Subepicardial fibrosis is associated with non-infarction diagnoses such as myocarditis and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
