I have a question concerning lung infarct (as many others apparently):

The Danish book states that an embolus in general only results in lung infarct in patients with an already defective lung circulation, according to left sided heart failure, lung fibrosis i.e. Chronic heart failure results in lung stasis and destruction of the lung capillaries and thereby creates physiological end arteries.

My question is: will we expect to see an anaemic or haemorhagic lung infarct in this case?

My guess would be an anaemic, but I am unsure if you see this sort of infarct in organs supplied by two sets of arteries.
Thank you!

Kind regards,
Marie
