1 Histologic atrial myolysis is associated with atrial fibrillation after cardiac operation 
Niv Ad, MD, Eitan Snir, MD, Bernardo A Vidne, MD, Eliahu Golomb, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 72, Issue 3, Pages (September 2001) DOI: /S (01)02882-X

2 Fig 1 Photomicrographs of right auricular specimens of atrial tissue. Hematoxylin and eosin stain; magnification, ×110 in A,C,E (general view); ×440 in B,D,F (detailed view). (A, B) Normal atrium. (C, D) Atrium with fibrosis. (E, F) Atrium with myolytic perinuclear vacuoles. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01)02882-X)

3 Fig 2 Electron micrographs of atria with myolysis. The vacuoles are not membrane bound, filled with granular material, and contain lipofuscin particles, or are adjacent to the lipofuscin particles (A–C). Occasionally, two adjacent cells show a different density of contraction bands (C). Mitochondria are usually intact (D). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01)02882-X)
