SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH IN ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS

To assess causes of sudden cardiac death, analyzed were autopsies, autopsy reports, police reports, and questionnaires completed by relatives and/or witnesses of fatal events; performed were cardiac organometry, histological, morphometric, and immunohistochemical assessments of the ventricular myocardium, heart valves, and coronary arteries in 128 adolescents and young adults aged 14 35 years.
