The Cardiac Conduction System in Unexplained Sudden DeathAuthor(s): Saroja Bharati, Maurice Lev\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley and Sons Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Wiley-Blackwell\nISBN-13: 9780879933623, 978-0879933623\nSynopsis\nPathologists are often confronted with cases of sudden cardiac death. The role of anatomical abnormalities or pathological lesions of the cardiac conduction system in sudden unexplained death has previously received insufficient attention. This is due, to a large extent, to the elusive, often inocuous nature of such lesions, the ostensibly normal life previously pursued by the patients, and the very particular physiological or metabolic state needed to impair normal conduction. This text presents the findings of a series of over 100 examinations of the cardiac conduction system following sudden cardiac death, and aims to a enable readers to understand the nature of pathology and anatomical abnormality in the conduction system. The authors elucid.
