Abstract
Pigs with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy diagnosed by echocardiographic examination were selected for study from a genetic breeding herd. Under dissecting microscopic examination, intramural coronary arteries in the septum and left ventricular free wall of euthanized pigs were collected for ultrastructural study. The major lesions of wall thickening included degeneration or denudation of endothelium, subendothelial edema, proliferation of collagen fiber, and hyperplasia of smooth muscle cells. Smooth muscle cells proliferated and migrated through the internal elastic lamella into the intima, which caused the early lesion of wall thickening of the intramural coronary arteries. The extent of smooth muscle cell proliferation was related to the severity of endothelial damage. The smooth muscle cells in the intima were identified by immunohistochemical staining (i.e., smooth muscle actin [SMA] stain). Three major types of severe wall thickening with narrow lumen were observed in the intramural coronary arteries. Edema in the intima caused the major lesion of Type I wall thickening. The internal elastic lamella was broken into small interrupted fragments, and fine fragments of elastic fibers surrounded by the cellular processes of smoot...Continue Reading
