heart of a 54 year old male who died suddenly


This is the heart of a 54 year old male who died suddenly. There is a very recent thrombus in the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery. An atherosclerotic plaque is present along the lower wall of the artery. There was no grossly visible myocardial infarct, so this process is less than one day old.
