We determined the local changes during histological examination of auriclar myocardium in cases of sudden death from acute coronary insufficiency. In the areas of ischemia the diminishing in 1,5 time of specific volume of myocardium fibers took place, and also undulating deformation, fragmentation of cardiomyocytes, their loss of striates, hyperchromia and increasing of nuclear size, diminishing of specific volume of arteriolas, spasm and plasma saturation of arteriolar wall, plethora of capillaries from stasis of erythrocytes as «monetary columns», microthrombosis and plasma saturation of vein walls, increases of specific volume of veins. We suggest that all of these changes may be useful as histological criteria for differential diagnostics of sudden death from acute coronary insufficiency.
