=====Contraction band necrosis=====
General:
*Mediated by catecholamines.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Hopster DJ, Milroy CM, Burns J, Roberts NB |title=Necropsy study of the association between sudden cardiac death, cardiac isoenzymes and contraction band necrosis |journal=J. Clin. Pathol. |volume=49 |issue=5 |pages=403–6 |year=1996 |month=May |pmid=8707956 |pmc=500481 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
*Thought to arise in reperfusion from hypercontraction.
Microscopic:
*Thick intensely eosinophilic staining bands (on H&E) ~ typically 4-5 micrometres wide
**Span the short axis of myocyte.
**Can be thought of bunched-up striae.
Notes:
*Better seen with special stains (Masson or Gomori trichrome).<ref>{{cite journal |author=Hopster DJ, Milroy CM, Burns J, Roberts NB |title=Necropsy study of the association between sudden cardiac death, cardiac isoenzymes and contraction band necrosis |journal=J.
