Abstract

Sudden death accounts for approximately two-thirds of autopsies in Forensic Medicine. Natural death
within 1 hour after the beginning of acute symptoms, is defined as Sudden Cardiac Death. Acute Myocardial
infarction (AMI) is a serious and potentially lethal manifestation of coronary artery disease, affecting more
than 7 million people worldwide each year and was proved to be a cause of sudden death. This study
quantitatively analyzed the heart blood for Cardiac Troponin T (cTnT) levels within 48hours after death &
correlated with the histological changes of myocardium
