IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL STUDY OF MYOGLOBIN DEPLETION FROM MYOCARDIUM IN THE CASES OF SUDDEN CORONARY DEATH / 中国法医学杂志

Myoglobin (Mb)depletion from myocardium in the cases of sudden soronary death (SCD) and was firstly studied by an immunhistochemial technique (ABC method) in China. Mb was detected quantitatively using scanning microscope photmeter and the results were analyzed statistically by computer The results showed that there were marked depletion of Mb from myocardium in each case of SCD The Mb depleted arce were multiple, disseminatly and segmentally distributed while no depletion of Mb from myocardium in the cases of control group was seen We suggested that the depletion of Mb can be used as one of the diagnostic criterion in the cases of SCD.
