The paper describes a method for opening the heart at autopsy and for pathological examinations of normally formed hearts, both with acquired and congenital diseases. The method is based on leaving the cardiac fibrous skeleton nondissected. This preserves the anatomical integrity of the intracardiac structures and their natural connections which is extremely important for pathological examination of the heart and its major vessels in congenital heart diseases, particularly in their complicated and rare types.
