Two cases of sudden death due to myocardial infarction which were associated external injuries on the chest are discussed here. Injuries were in the form of abraded contusions on the anterior part of chest. Both the cases were declared dead on arrival to the casualty section (Accident and Emergencies Department). In these cases, mention of injuries was not made in the inquest report. In both the cases, suspicion of foul play or the trauma induced myocardial infarction were ruled out by inquiring into the incidents by the autopsy surgeon. The cases highlight the importance of detailed history by the autopsy surgeon in cases of sudden death with associated injuries on the front of the chest.
这里讨论了两起因胸部外伤导致的心肌梗死猝死病例。损伤形式为胸部前侧的擦伤性挫伤。两例均在到达急救科（急诊室）时被宣布死亡。在这些病例中，尸检报告中并未提及损伤。在这两例中，通过尸检外科医生询问事件，排除了犯罪行为或创伤引起的心肌梗死的嫌疑。这些病例强调了尸检外科医生在伴有胸部前侧损伤的猝死病例中详细询问病史的重要性。
