Sudden death (SD) in young males was primarily caused by coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly triple vessel disease (TVD). Autopsy examinations effectively determined the cause of death in all cases, highlighting the importance of postmortem analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Pathology
  • Forensic Medicine
  • Clinical Autopsy

Background:

  • Sudden death (SD) is a critical concern, especially in younger populations.
  • Autopsy examination is crucial for determining the cause of death in unexpected fatalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the underlying causes of sudden death through comprehensive autopsy examinations.
  • To correlate postmortem findings with clinical information to ascertain the definitive cause of death.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted postmortem examinations on all sudden death cases.
  • Included previous two-year autopsy reports of sudden deaths for analysis.
  • Correlated autopsy findings with clinical history to determine the cause of death.

Main Results:

  • Out of 130 autopsies, 13 cases (all male, ages 23-50) were identified as sudden deaths.
  • Coronary artery disease (CAD) was the leading cause (76.93%), with triple vessel disease (TVD) prevalent.
  • Other causes included aortoarteritis, cardiomyopathy, and cerebrovascular accident (CVA).
  • Anomalous coronary artery origin was noted in one young case, and arterio-venous malformation in a CVA case.

Conclusions:

  • Coronary artery disease, specifically triple vessel disease, was the predominant cause of sudden death in this cohort.
  • Aortoarteritis, cardiomyopathy, and cerebrovascular accident were identified as causes in individual cases.
  • Autopsy examination proved definitive in establishing the cause of death for all sudden death cases studied.
