Necropsy study of association between sudden death and cardiac enzymes.
AIMS To determine if cardiac enzymes measured at necropsy could be used to predict early myocardial infarction. METHODS Cardiac enzyme activities were measured in body fluids at necropsy. Coroners' necropsies were grouped by gross and microscopic findings into cases of definite myocardial infarction, cases with occlusive coronary artery atheroma but no identifiable myocardial infarction, and ...

An autopsy study of heart was therefore planned to observe various histomorphological cardiac changes, and to determine the frequency association of acute coronary events and my...
