    Abstract:
    The damage of ventricular myocardial cells during acute experimental massive pulmonary embolism (MPE) was studied by light, polarization and electron microscopy on anaesthetized dogs. In cases, when MPE was followed by heart failure, the deep ir reversible damage of myofibrils took place, and the relative volume of myofibrils decreased in both ventricles. The damage of right ventricular myocardium, which works against increased postload during MPE, may be reason of right ventricular insufficiency.
