There is a GTAB (Gomori Trichrome Aniline Blue) Stain for infarction. I 
have just done this stain on an infarcted heart and it turned out great. I 
got the protocol from JOH, volume 17, No. 2, June 1994, page 127. If you 
can't get the journal let me know and I'll fax a copy to you if you are 
interested in this stain.
