title: [Interest of post mortem analysis in diagnosis and etiopathogeny of ischemic myocardial infarction].
abstract: The discovery of an ischaemic myocardial infarction during forensic or scientific autopsy is sometimes surprising when found in a young subject. It is therefore important to find out the etiology of vascular lesions to take preventive measures in the family. In post mortem, some complementary analysis can be performed to determine the diagnosis of ischaemic myocardial infarction and its etiopathogeny. Such analyses, routinely made in forensic practice, are rarely used by pathologists during scientific autopsy. Some biological mediums are stable enough to be used for biological, biochemical and even genetical analyses. We will study the different post mortem analyses, and see their interest and reliability.
