Elastic fibre alterations in the heart. a Degenerated and calcified fibres were mainly found below the endocardial layer (right side of the picture). Furthermore, similar fibres were seen in the interstitial fibrous tissue in the myocardium (left side of the picture). b Von Kossa stain showing the calcified elastic fibres. c Enlarged picture of the abnormal elastic fibres within the interstitial fibrotic tissue in the myocardium. d Enlarged picture of the abnormal elastic fibres in the subendocardial layer
