Abstrakt		These were 684 (14.3%) cases of myocardial infarction (MI) among 4785 autopsies in the years 1992-1994: acute forms in 44.7%, fibrous scars in 25.3%, and reinfarction in 30%. 51.2% and 24.6% of MI within first 24 hours, and after 24 hours and more from the beginning of disease, respectively, were not diagnosed before death. The average age was 65 years in males, and 73 in females. The age range spanned from 23-82 years, and from 6 months - 90 years in males and in females, respectively. The most frequent locations of MI were the posterior wall of the left ventircle in 31.1%, and the anterior wall of the left ventricle in 19.3%. Coronary thrombosis was established in 15.2% of cases. Ventricular mural thrombosis developed in 4.7% of all cases, mostly more than 24 hours after infarction, as well as cardiac aneurysms in 3.4%, and epistenocardic pericarditis in 25.3%. The incidence of external ventricular rupture with heart tamponade was 11.4% (78 cases). Internal rupture of the interventricular septum was established in four cases, in one case it was isolated, others were combined with external rupture. Extended MI was primary cause of death in 65.5%, followed by heart failure (7.5%), and pulmonary thrombembolism (5%).
