Ultrastructure of rabbit heart outside ischemic zone in acute heart failure obtained against the background of experimental myocardial infarction

Electron microscopic examination of non-ischemic animal hearts in failure secondary to aortic constriction revealed degeneration of myofilaments near the intercalated discs, a widening of the Z bands and the appearance of N bands. These changes are thought to be characteristic and specific for heart...

Summary:Electron microscopic examination of non-ischemic animal hearts in failure secondary to aortic constriction revealed degeneration of myofilaments near the intercalated discs, a widening of the Z bands and the appearance of N bands. These changes are thought to be characteristic and specific for heart failure.
