Background: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) triggers a complex cascade of pathomorphological changes that evolve through distinct temporal phases. Understanding these changes is crucial for predicting clinical outcomes and optimizing therapeutic interventions. Methods: We systematically analyzed histopathological specimens from post-MI cardiac tissue across multiple time points. Samples were evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), Masson's trichrome staining, and immunohistochemical markers to characterize cellular infiltration, tissue necrosis, and fibrotic remodeling. Results: Pathomorphological changes demonstrated a predictable temporal pattern: early coagulative necrosis with wavy fibers (1-3 hours), neutrophilic infiltration peaking at 12-24 hours, macrophage-mediated repair (3-7 days), granulation tissue formation (10-21 days), and mature scar formation (6-8 weeks). Quantitative analysis revealed peak inflammatory cell density at day 3 post-MI, with subsequent transition to fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition. Conclusion: The pathomorphological evolution following acute MI follows a highly orchestrated timeline characterized by distinct inflammatory, proliferative, and maturation phases. Recognition of these temporal patterns has important implications for timing therapeutic interventions and predicting complications.
