A histologic mapping of myocardium was deviced for the evaluation of myocardial infarction in autopsy cases. By this method, it is possible to understand the three dimensional extension, density and spreading or repairing mode of an infarct in the heart, and should be also possible to estimate the damaged myocardial mass. Furthermore, references of both clinical information and the findings from simultaneously examined coronary arteries gave this technic an efficient means for the clinicopathologic evaluation of myocardial infarction.
