title: [Forensic significance of lesions of the sinus node in cases of sudden death of unknown origin].
abstract: Report on a systematical histological investigation of sinu-atrial nodes in strongly suspected cases of cardiac death in which no pertinent myocardial or coronary changes were found. In over 40% of the cases studied there were histopathological changes in the mixed tissue components of the sinu-atrial node which were highly suggestive of severe or fatal functional impairment.
