[Pathology of the myocardium and coronary vessels in sudden cardiac death. A post-mortem study of 130 cases]. / Patologia del miocardio e delle coronarie nella morte improvvisa cardiaca. Uno studio post-mortem in 130 casi.

Autopsies were performed on 130 cases of sudden death (38 F, 92 M) i.e. death occurring in the space of a very few minutes in apparently healthy subjects, in order to examine the anatomopathological alterations to the heart. Varying degrees of coronary sclerosis were noted in 91.5%, thrombosis of one or more coronary vessels in 32.3%, acute histologically evident myocardial infarction in 54.6%.
