Patient presents iwth an MI, what micrscopic cnahges would you expect at 24 hours
neutrophilic inifiltrated, rpogresses over days to ocoagulative necorsis, and then fibrosis
Complications of MI
most common cause of death a few hours post MI is arrhythmia

myocadial rupture occurs 1-2 weeks after MI

Migtatory polyarthritis lasting 2-3 weeks with fever, also some erythema and sub Q nodules. Tx and concerns
Acute rheumatic fever, treat with PCN, concerned about carditis leading to rhematic heard disease and colcifcation of mitral valve
Findings of restritive lung disease on spirometry
