摘要: Pathologic investigation of 50 children, adolescents, and young adults who died suddenly unexpectedly revealed that the most frequently encountered cardiovascular diseases were mitral valve prolapse (12 cases), myocarditis hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (six anomalous origin a coronary artery from aorta (two cases). Five subjects had no evidence cardiac abnormalities. A striking family history sudden death was among eight subjects, whom three normal hearts. Assessing circumstances surrounding death, it found at time collapse, 32 engaged in regular activity, active athletics, ten dead bed. relationship terminal event to emotional stress reported subjects.
