Abstract

The causes for peracute cardiac death often stem from dysfunction of action-monitoring within the conduction system. By different basic diseases of the heart-partially ischemic circulatory, partially biochemical-biophysical, rarely musculary disorders dominate. This is demonstrated at four cases of death accompanied by rare findings: (1) Localised stenosing coronary arteriosclerosis and -thrombosis at a 32-year-old woman; (2) anatomically corrected transposition of the large vessels; (3) generalized progressive muscular dystrophy (Morbus Duchenne); (4) chronical shrinkage of both kidneys and overdosed electrolyte supply.
