Type of infarct seen in hea is: (A) Red infarcts, (B) White infarcts, (C) Septic infarcts, (D) Bland infarcts
Answer is B. Infarcts are classified according to color and the presence or absence of infection; they are either red (hemorrhagic) or white (anemic) and may be septic or bland. White infarcts occur with aerial occlusions in solid organs with end-aerial circulation (e.g: hea, spleen, and kidney), and where tissue density limits the seepage of blood from adjoining capillary beds into the necrotic area.Ref: Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease; 9th edition; Chapter 4; Hemodynamic Disorders, Thromboembolic Disease, and Shock; Page no: 130
