A 54-year-old male develops a thrombus in his left anterior descending coronary artery. The area
of myocardium supplied by this vessel is ir- reversibly injured. The thrombus is destroyed by the
infusion of streptokinase, which is a plasminogen activator, and the injured area is reperfused. The
patient, however, develops an arrhythmia and dies. An electron microscopic (EM) picture taken of
the irreversibly injured myocardium reveals the presence of large, dark, irregular amorphic densities within mitochondria, which are referred to as
A. Apoptotic bodies
B. Flocculent densities
C. Myelin figures
D. Psammoma bodies
