title: [Morphology of acute coronary death in younger females].
abstract: This report covers obduction findings on 17 women who died between 1971 and 1982 at 29-45 years of age by typical acute coronary death. In all cases a high-grade stenosing coronary sclerosis was found, in 12 cases combined with a fresh obstructive thrombosis. Considerations as to etiology and pathogenesis are presented. So far no conclusive connection between oral contraception and early coronary sclerosis or a tendency toward coronary thrombosis is provable. Instead we suppose polyetiological patterns were present, which seem to be identical to acute coronary death in young men.
