Abstract

The postmortem diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), especially the postmortem diagnosis of early AMI that died immediately after onset or within 1 hour, has always been a difficulty in forensic identification. This article reviews the forensic application of diagnosis and analysis methods for AMI postmortem diagnosis including autopsy imaging, histomorphology, immunohisto-chemistry, biochemical marker and molecular biology diagnosis, and explores the feasible scheme of early postmortem diagnosis in AMI.

急性心肌梗死,特别是发病后立即或1 h内死亡的早期急性心肌梗死的死后诊断一直是法医学鉴定的难点。本文就急性心肌梗死死后诊断的虚拟解剖、组织形态学、免疫组织化学、生物化学标志物及分子生物学等诊断、分析方法的法医学应用进行综述,并探索早期急性心肌梗死死后诊断的可行方案。.
