Interaction between expression of angiogenic factors and pathology of the microvasculature and cardiomyocytes in myocardial tissue of patients with diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Sudden death with myocardial infarction has always been a challenging issue for the investigators and forensic pathologists. When a person suffering from angina or myocardial infarction is simultaneously suffering from diabetes mellitus issue becomes even more complex for the investigators as usual signs and symptoms of MI may not manifest so as to rouse a suspicion of MI. This study will help the pathologists to understand the microscopic changes of diabetic cardiomyopathy better in a case having MI with diabetes. This study was done in 47 cases to know the pathology of microvasculature and cardiomyocytes in myocardial tissue of diabetic patients and expression of angiogenic factors.
