This research examines cases of sudden death caused by cardiac tamponade and myocardial rupture post-infarction.
Three cases of sudden death were analyzed through autopsy.
Hemopericardium and myocardial rupture were identified during examinations.
Histopathological evaluation was conducted to assess the extent of myocardial infarction.
Autopsy findings confirmed hemopericardium and ventricular rupture due to acute myocardial infarction.
Left ventricular rupture was common, but a case of right ventricular free-wall rupture was also noted.
Histopathological findings supported the timing of myocardial infarction in all examined cases.
