title: [Acute cardiac death in chronic-ischemic heart disease (CIHD)].
abstract: Ischemic heart disease as a basic disease with accompanying findings and exogenous factors comes to a typical triad of SCD. There is a critical midlife situation due to O2-shortage. Dispositional and situational conditions come to be important, especially in cases in which morphological substrates are absent. The complex incident takes place on three levels (organism, heart, and myocardium). Several dying types may occur. Clinical accuracy and morphological diagnosis are of limited value for the relatively fatal importance of each of the single findings.
