Ivan’s lecture mentioned liver infarctions as an example of hemorrhagic infarcts, however, this is controversial if you look into various text books.

Q: Regarding infarction:
The books state that a hyperemic or hemorrhagic border zone surrounding the infarction often arises – do these conditions coexist or is it one or the other, or are they the same? If they are the same, which is more correct to state (i.e. is it hyperemia or hemorrhage)?

Q: A question concerning lung infarct
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

Q: What is the difference between lung stasis and pulmonary arterial hypertension?
Why does the stasis give microbleeds in the surrounding tissue, when the pulm. hypertension gives edema in the alveoli? I am especially confused because both pathologic conditions cause stasis of blood in the pulm. Arteries.
So, what are the differences and similarities between stasis and pulmonary hypertension? And are they both caused by left heart insufficiency?
