title: [Modern morphological criteria for sudden cardiac death].
abstract: This paper presents results of clinico-morphological analysis of the cases of sudden non-violent death from acute heart failure. Histological and immunomorphological characteristics of monocytes are discussed as criteria for acute myocardial ischemia. Mosaic pattern of myocardial involvement is considered to constitute a morphological basis of electrical instability of the heart and, accordingly, a cause of sudden cardiac death.
