title: [Sudden death in organophosphoric poisoning--an unaccountable pathophysiologic mechanism?].
abstract: Sudden death related in literature to appear in IV-th - VIII-th day from organophosphoric intoxication does not have an unanimous accepted physiopathologic explanation.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Pharmacodynamic study of myocardial trichlorfon level in acute experiment.
  
  
  METHODS
  Gas chromatographic determination of myocardial trichlorfon quantity in an experiment on white, male Wistar rats, daily sacrificed for the heart, until the tenth day from an digestive administration of a dose of 200mg/kg trichlorfon. RESULTS (mcg/g myocardial tissue): I day = 8, II day = 13.63, III day = 15, IV day = 18.96, V day = 19.6, VI day = 20.83, VII day = 21.21, VIII day = 21.33, IX day = 19.69, X day = 19.41.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  An organophosphoric direct toxic mechanism is suggested, through accumulation over time of a certain level of myocardial concentration.
