Diagram showing the progression of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries with associated complications on the right.
Slide showing a markedly narrowed coronary artery secondary to atherosclerosis. Stained with Masson’s trichrome.
Ruptured coronary artery plaque resulting in thrombosis and associated myocardial infarction.
Pathological specimen showing infarction of the anteroseptal and lateral wall of the left ventricle. There is a background of biventricular myocardial hypertrophy.
ECG showing a ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Note by how looking at which leads are affected (in this case II, III and aVF) we are able to tell which coronary arteries are blocked (the right coronary artery in this case). A blockage of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery would cause elevation of V1-V4, what is often termed an ‘anterior’ myocardial infarction.
ECG showing a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). On the ECG there is deep ST depression in I-III, aVF, and V3-V6. aVR also has ST elevation. Deep and widespread ST depression is associated with very high mortality because it signifies severe ischemia usually of LAD or left main stem.
Diagram showing the correlation between ECG changes and coronary territories in acute coronary syndrome

Recanalised old atherothrombotic occlusion of a coronary artery. Numerous small neolumina recanalising the organised occluding thrombus (indicated with arrows)

Venn diagram showing how different causes of thyroid dysfunction may manifest. Note how many causes of hypothyroidism may have an initial thyrotoxic phase.
