Abstract

Implications of Coronary Artery Disease Led Sudden Death for Forensic Pathology

N John Camm*

Forensic pathology is the branch of pathology that deals with the investigation of sudden, unexpected, or suspicious deaths. In cases of sudden death due to CAD, forensic pathologists play a crucial role in determining the cause and manner of death. They do this by performing a thorough examination of the body, including an autopsy (a medical examination of the body after death) and laboratory testing. CAD-related sudden death is an important area of focus for forensic pathology, and accurate diagnosis and investigation of these cases is crucial for ensuring justice and understanding the public health implications of this common cause of death. There are several implications of CAD-related sudden death for forensic pathology. First, it is important for forensic pathologists to accurately diagnose CAD as the cause of death, as this information can have significant legal and social consequences. For example, if CAD is found to be the cause of death, it may be necessary to determine whether the deceased had any known risk factors for the condition (such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol) and whether they were receiving appropriate treatment. Second, forensic pathologists may need to investigate whether CAD-related sudden death was preventable. This could involve examining whether the deceased had access to medical care and whether they were receiving appropriate treatment for their condition. Finally, forensic pathologists may be called upon to testify in court about their findings in CAD- related sudden death cases. This may include explaining the medical and scientific evidence to a jury, and helping to clarify any technical or complex issues related to the case. This review analyses forensic aspects of coronary artery disease led Sudden Deaths.
