Necropsy analysis reveals ischemic myocardial injury is not uncommon in infancy and childhood.
Pathological examination reveals that ischaemic myocardial injury occurs not uncommonly in infants and children.
Pediatric myocardial ischemia may warrant greater clinical suspicion; leaves open validation of ante-mortem detection and risk factors.
Examination of 135 consecutive necropsy specimens has shown that ischaemic myocardial injury is not uncommon in infancy and childhood. The extent of the myocardial change has been assessed by a technique of staining with acid fuchsin, first described by Selye (1958). The significance of the findings is discussed.

C. L. Berry (1967) studied this question. Ischaemic myocardial injury was found to be not uncommon in infancy and childhood based on the examination of 135 consecutive necropsy specimens using acid fuchsin staining.
