Myocardial Infarct - Acute - Subendocardial

Cross section of the ventricles showing subendocardial infarcts in the anterior and posterolateral walls that extend into the septum. 

The infarcts have a gelatinous texture and the red areas represent granulation tissue. Bordering the infarcts there are subtle areas of white gray discoloration which represent areas of early scar formation. Also note the infarct in the anterior papillary muscle.
