[The use of a morphohistochemical method for the diagnosis of heart contusion]

This morphohistochemical study was carried out using myocardial tissue samples obtained from subjects with heart contusion. The aim of the study was to elucidate the cause of ventricular fibrillation associated with alternative myocardial insufficiency. It is concluded that changes of Ca2+ ion content in the myocardial tissue may be one of the factors contributing to the development of ventricular fibrillation.
