Clinicopathological Analysis of Autopsy of 36 Cases with Sudden Cardiac Death

Objective: To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of autopsy of thirty-six cases with sudden cardiac death and provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and prevention of sudden cardiac death.Methods: Thirty-six patients with sudden cardiac death were autopsied and the histopathological examinations were performed by being routinely embedded in paraffin,complete serial sections and stained with HE and then observed light microscope and the information of thirty-six autopsy cases were collected with sudden cardiac death.Results:Among thirty-six died of sudden cardiac death,the cases with coronary heart disease was the most abundant accounting for 21 cases and for 58.33% of the total cases,and the cases with arrhiythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy accounted for 3 cases and for 8.33% of the total cases.Conclusion: Correct and systematic autopsy could determine the causes of sudden death and offer scientific evidence for medical identification,otherwise,it was important to improve medical quality,early diagnosing,treatment of cardiovascular diseases and decrease the sudden cardiac death rate.
