CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS AS COMPARED WITH NECROPSY FINDINGS

Clinical and necropsy findings in patients with calcified myocardial infarcts.

Clinical and necropsy findings are described in 37 patients with grossly visible myocardial infarcts. At the time of the first infarct, the 31 men ranged in age from 25 to 72 years (mean, 47) and the 6 women, from 50 to 70 years (mean, 56). The interval from the first clinically apparent acute myocardial infarct to death varied from 2 to 28 years (mean, 13) and was >or=10 years in 24 of 32 pati...
