Hystological analysis of ventricular tissue
Sections (4μm thick) will be stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain (H\&E) for diagnosis. After diagnosis, sections of the representative heart tissue will be stained with a PicroSirius Red/Fast Green for fibrosis evaluation. All stained samples will be examined under digital and light microscope. Beside the location of adipose/fibrous tissue in the right or left ventricles and in the septum, seven high magnification fields (40x) will be evaluated in five regions of the myocardium.
