Three Autopsy Cases of Sudden-Death after Incidental Injuries.

We present three autopsy cases of fatal ischemic heart disease. One occurred after a fall and the other two after an assault. We suspected the causes of death to be related to the accident and the assaults. The autopsies revealed marked stenosis and/or occlusion of the coronary arteries. The causes of deaths were considered to be ischemic heart disease arising from severe coronary sclerosis and/or occlusion. These cases show the importance of an appropriate autopsy and a detailed histopathologic investigation in complicated cases involving trauma, such as assault and accident.論文http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_650
