Key result
H&E fluorescence reliably matches HBFP staining for detecting early myocardial ischaemia.
Why the study?
The reliability of fluorescence of haematoxylin and eosin stained myocardium compared to the haematoxylin basic fuchsin picric acid method for detecting early ischaemia was unclear.
Does fluorescence of H&E stained sections reliably detect early myocardial infarction compared to HBFP stain in necropsy material?
Observational (n=30)
Does fluorescence of H&E stained sections reliably detect early myocardial infarction compared to HBFP stain in necropsy material?
Fluorescence of H&E stained sections is a reliable and reproducible method for identifying early myocardial infarction in necropsy specimens, comparable to HBFP staining.

May simplify early ischaemia detection in necropsy; leaves open prospective validation against clinical outcomes.
A retrospective study has been carried out on the necropsy material from 30 patients who have died after a clinically diagnosed myocardial infarction. This study has been undertaken to compare the reliability of the fluorescence of infarcted myocardium when stained by haematoxylin and eosin and an adjacent section stained by the haematoxylin basic fuchsin picric acid (HBFP) method to detect early ischaemia. The results showed that the fluorescence technique is reliable, reproducible and coincides with the findings obtained by HBFP stain.

Al-Rufaie et al. (1983) conducted an observational in Myocardial infarction (n=30). Fluorescence of haematoxylin and eosin stained sections vs. Haematoxylin basic fuchsin picric acid (HBFP) method was evaluated on Detection of early ischaemia. Fluorescence of haematoxylin and eosin stained sections is a reliable and reproducible technique that coincides with the findings obtained by HBFP stain for detecting early myocardial ischaemia.
