title: [Cardiogenic shock and sudden cardiac death].
abstract: The study of 148 cases of sudden cardiac death revealed in 25 (17%) of them morphological signs of cardiogenic shock characterized by severe microcirculatory disorders: uneven blood-filling of the vessels of the microcirculatory bed and increasing number of nonfunctioning capillaries in the myocardium and hypothalamus; signs of juxtamedullar shunting in the kidneys and the development of sludge phenomenon in different parts of their microcirculatory bed combined with high activity of renin in the plasma. The signs of cardiogenic shock in the group of observations of sudden cardiac death were noted predominantly in the presence of myocardial infarction, large foci of ischemia in the heart or multiple scattered foci of cardiomyocyte damage. Cardiogenic shock was found to occur in sharp reduction of the density of adrenergic nerve structures in the myocardium.
