title: [Morphologic characteristics of the myocardium of people dying after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station accident].
abstract: Two types of histological changes were found in the myocardium of 27 persons who died after the accident at Chernobyl atomic station: small foci of lesions (contractures, myocytolysis, fragmentation) and pathology, associated with vascular disturbances (venous hyperemia, statis, sludge-phenomenon, interstitial oedema, haemorrhages) typical for all cases. 6 persons had small-focal myocardial infarction, foci of infection were found in 3 cases. Small foci of lesions in the myocardium might produce disturbances of the heart rhythm revealed clinically.
