title: [Analysis of the sudden heart death causes in selected sample of dead].
abstract: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is death from cardiac causes within one hour of the onset of symptoms. In the Czech Republic, there is no SCD registry, analyses of SCD causes are rare and there is no functional connection between the results of an autopsy on a person with SCD and examination of relatives who are at risk of a similar disease. The authors reviewed available autopsy records of the Department of Forensic Medicine and Medical Law of the University Hospital Olomouc over a specified period of time to find persons with severe coronary artery disease, heart failure or deaths from unknown causes in a specific age range. Subsequently, the available information about the circumstances of SCD was analyzed.
