Two patients known to have coronary artery disease died suddenly outdoors while active. Neither had symptoms or signs of acute myocardial infarction. They were being monitored by continuous tape recording of the electrocardiogram at the time of death. In one patient the cause of death was cardiac arrest, preceded by bigeminy and multiform ventricular ectopic beats, in the other ventricular fibrillation preceded by atrial fibrillation, multiform ventricular ectopic beats, and ST depression. These observations are added to the limited reported cases in which the mechanism leading to sudden death outside the hospital is recorded.
两名已知患有冠状动脉疾病的患者在户外活动时突然死亡。两人均无急性心肌梗死的症状或体征。死亡时他们正在通过心电图连续磁带记录进行监测。一名患者的死因是心脏骤停，之前有二联律和多形性室性早搏；另一名患者的死因是心室颤动，之前有心房颤动、多形性室性早搏和ST段压低。这些观察结果被添加到已报道的有限病例中，这些病例记录了导致院外猝死的机制。
