We describe a modified method for examination of the atrioventricular and sinoatrial nodes that displays the major elements of the cardiac conducting system, yet is not time-consuming for the technician. We examined 31 cases in three categories: cases with previous cardiac history, sudden deaths from no known cause, and cases where death was sudden and accidental. All cases showed histologic abnormalities in the cardiac tissue. We contend that our method would permit such examination to be routinely used in the pathology laboratory.
我们描述了一种用于检查房室结和窦房结的改良方法，该方法可显示心脏传导系统的主要组成部分，且对技术人员来说并不耗时。我们将31例病例分为三类进行检查：有既往心脏病史的病例、原因不明的猝死病例以及猝死且死因意外的病例。所有病例的心脏组织均显示出组织学异常。我们认为我们的方法将使这种检查能够在病理实验室中常规使用。
