In 487 men and 359 women with acute coronary death the average heart weight was estimated. This was related to the different kinds of acute death and chronic ischemic heart disease. Moreover, the hearts were classified according to three weight groups (less than 400 g, 400-499 g, greater than 499 g) and also related to the different kinds of acute coronary death and chronic ischemic heart disease. On the average, the heart weights in females were lower than in males. In 90% of all cases a heart weight of more than 400 g was characteristic. Pathologic hypertrophy of the heart was especially found in the group of men who died on recurrent myocardial infarction or acute coronary insufficiency with fibrosis of the heart muscle. A majority of men dying under the signs of instantaneous death also showed a pathologic hypertrophy of the heart muscle. In the female group heart weights between 400-499 dominated. The results are discussed.
对487名男性和359名女性急性冠状动脉死亡病例的心脏重量进行了平均估算。这与不同类型的急性死亡和慢性缺血性心脏病有关。此外，心脏根据三个重量组（小于400克、400 - 499克、大于499克）进行分类，并且也与不同类型的急性冠状动脉死亡和慢性缺血性心脏病有关。平均而言，女性的心脏重量低于男性。在所有病例的90%中，心脏重量超过400克是其特征。心脏病理肥大尤其在死于复发性心肌梗死或伴有心肌纤维化的急性冠状动脉供血不足的男性组中发现。大多数死于猝死体征下的男性也表现出心肌病理肥大。在女性组中，400 - 499克之间的心脏重量占主导。对结果进行了讨论。
