心臓病細胞
Wikipedia definition
1. Heart failure cellsHeart failure cells or siderophages are hemosiderin-containing macrophages in the alveoli. The main causes are left heart failure and chronic pulmonary edema. In left heart failure, the left ventricle can not keep pace with the incoming blood from the pulmonary veins. The resulting backup causes increased pressure on the alveolar capillaries, and red blood cells leak out. Alveolar macrophages ingest the red blood cells, and become engorged with brownish hemosiderin.
