[Forensic medical assessment of subendocardial hemorrhage in acute blood loss].
A retrospective analysis of forensic autopsy protocols for 240 victims who died of acute blood loss aged 17-55 years (186 male and 56 female corpses--76.8 and 23.2%, respectively) has shown that appearance of Minakov's spots (MS) depends on duration of the terminal period. Subendocardial hemorrhages occurred most frequently (61.5%) in the terminal period up to one hour. The terminal period for several minutes was associated with MS appearance in 27.5% cases, for several hours--in 6.6%, for 24 hours and more--in 4.4%. MS incidence rate did not correlate with the group of the study, blood loss volume, severity of alcohol intoxication.
