All of the following statements concerning myocardial infarction are true except:
A. may be unrecognizable at autopsy if the patient dies within four or five hours after the infarction
B. need not be associated with vascular occlusion
C. may be followed by systemic arterial occlusions
D. is uncommon in hypertension because of capillary proliferation developed secondary to myocardial hypertrophy
E. is most common in the myocardium supplied by the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery
D. Is uncommon in hypertension because of capillary proliferation developed secondary to myocardial hypertrophy
This statement is incorrect. Myocardial infarction is common in patients with hypertension due to the increased workload on the heart, which can lead to coronary artery disease and subsequent infarction, despite any capillary proliferation.
