[New diagnostic possibilities of postmortam coronary angiography by digital subtraction angiography]
Abstract:
Postmortal digital subtraction angiography permits vessels filled with a contrast agent to be visualized selectively in a video film shot and the contrast agent flow to be observed directly in the coronary arteries. Compared to conventional static methods of postmortal coronary angiography, the judgment on the hemodynamic effects of stenosis and occlusion, as well as of collaterals and anastomosis, will be improved and therefore the diagnosis of acute coronary death. The diagnostic possibilities and advantages of DSA are demonstrated in two cases.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
