Cardiomyopathy
These are the three general categories of cardiomyopathy
hypertrophic, dilated, restrictive
This valve is most commonly affected by IV drug use
Tricuspid
This coronary artery disease may have no findings at autopsy
Coronary artery vasospasm
The clinical sequelae of this non traumatic intracranial cause of sudden death is typically an excruciating headache followed by loss of consciousness and death
Subarachnoid hemorrhage
-Berry aneurysm rupture most common
-Intracerebral hemorrhage, AVM rupture
This cardiomyopathy has an autosomal dominant inheritance, and classically shows disproportionate interventricular septal thickening
Hypertrophic
The two commonest causes of valvular sudden death?
Mitral valve prolapse
Aortic stenosis
Name 2 causes of conduction abnormalities that can cause sudden death with no findings at autopsy
Wolff Parkinson White syndrome
Long QT syndrome
idiopathic
Chronic alcohol consumption is responsible for the majority of this type of cardiomyopathy
dilated
Four etiologies of aortic stenosis
congenital AS
Secondary calcification of bicuspid valve
Primary calcification of valve
rheumatic heart disease
This intracranial cause of sudden death can have no findings at autopsy
epileptic seizure
Name 3 differential diagnoses for restrictive cardiomyopathy
amyloidosis
hemochromatosis
sarcoidosis
glycogen storage disease
hyper eosinophilic syndrome
Thickened, myxomatous, redundant valve leaflets are characteristic anatomical findings in this condition
Mitral valve prolapse
Haphazard myocardial fibres with bizarre nuclei is the histologic finding in this cardiomyopathy
hypertrophic
