| contraction band n. |
a cardiac lesion seen in patients with neurologically induced cardiographic changes, in myocardial biopsy specimens, and in cocaine or epinephrine toxicity, characterized by hypercontracted myofibrils with contraction bands and mitochondrial damage; it is caused by calcium ion influx into dying cells, which results in the arrest of cells in the contracted state, following severe ischemia and subsequent reperfusion. Called also coagulative myocytolysis.
