The aim is to study histopathological spectrum of various cardiovascular lesions with reference to age & sex and to determine the cause of sudden cardiac death and study the histomorphological changes in the heart after death. An observational study was carried out on 259 autopsy cases from January 2018 to June 2019. In total, 221 cases were included in this study. Out of 221 cases, 174 cases showed pathology in heart, coronaries and aorta. Atherosclerosis (53%) was most common finding, followed by myocardial infarction (MI) (19.5%). Myocardial infarction due to atherosclerosis is probably the most common finding encountered in medicolegal autopsies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
