title: Capablanca's stroke: an early case of neurogenic heart disease. Cuban-world-champion of chess 1921-1927.
abstract: The great chess master Jose Raul Capablanca died of a stroke in New York city in 1942. An analysis of his death is instructive in the discussion of cardiac repercussions of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, particularly regarding the close relationship between subendocardial hemorrhage and its probable source - sympathetic activation - caused by stroke.
