myocardial necrosis Toxicants That Alter Cell Membrane Function ? Alter cell membrane control of ion movement and affect cardiac contraction – Toxicants that bind to phospholipids (., gossypol) ? effect potassium transport ? hyperkalemia ? arrhythmias – Toxicants that selectively block sodium channels ? tetrodotoxin, saxitoxin ? decreased intracellular Na+ ? depression of normal pacemaker function and conduction ? arrhythmias Toxicants That Directly Damage Myocardium ? Damage the pumping effectiveness by reducing the number of active myocytes – Toxicants that cause oxidative damage and lipid peroxidation (., doxorubicin, ethanol) ? redox cycling of doxorubicin ? semiquinone and superoxide radicals ? ethanol metabolism ? lipid peroxidation of myocytes ? results in cell swelling, altered Ca2+ homeostasis, and irreversible myocyte injury Toxicants That Directly Damage Myocardium ? Damage the pumping effectiveness by reducing the number of active myocytes – Toxicants that cause sarcolemmal injury and calcium alterations (., catecholamines) ? endogenous: epinephrine and norepinephrine ? exogenous: isoproterenol ( toxicity than above) ? sarcolemmal damage through lipid peroxidation ? increased calcium uptake ? impaired mitochondrial function and activation of neutral proteases and phospholipases ? myocyte dysfunction and toxicity Cardiovascular changes following chronic rodent exposure to dioxinlike pounds Reference: Jokinen MP, Walker NJ, Brix AE, Sells DM , Haseman JK, Nyska A (2022).

Myocardial fiber degeneration/necrosis, inflammation, fibrosis ?

Histopathologic definitions of cardiac lesions Myocyte vacuolization Widespread accumulation of multiple, round, variably sized, primarily small, and clear vacuoles, located within the myocyte sarcoplasm Vacuoles, often similar in appearance, present in the interstitium are interpreted as a background change Histopathologic definitions of cardiac lesions (Cont.) Myocyte necrosis Small areas containing fragmented, angular, brightly eosinophilic myofibers with dark, shrunken nuclei Atrial thrombosis A mature, antemortem blood clot present within the lumen of the atrium, consisting of alternating areas of fibrin and
