[A new method of postmortem macroscopic diagnosis of the ischemic stage of myocardial infarction]

In sudden death of ventricular fibrillation occurring in coronary patients a new method of postmortem thermographic macroscopic diagnosis of ischemic stage myocardial infarction was found helpful in identifying areas of myocardial ischemia topographically close to stenosing atherosclerosis and considered due to thrombosis of the major and intramural branches of coronary arteries. Radionuclide and histochemical investigations confirmed relevant thermographic findings.
