心脏性猝死的法医学研究进展

Research Progress of Sudden Cardiac Death in Forensic Medicine

猝死是一类特殊的疾病死亡形式,严重威胁着社区人群的生命安全。心脏性猝死(sudden cardiac death,SCD)是最常见的猝死类型,一直以来是法医病理学鉴定和研究的重要内容之一。本文从流行病学、形态学、分子病理学、虚拟解剖学等角度综述了SCD的法医学研究进展,以期为此类猝死的形态学鉴定、死亡原因诊断及其综合防治提供借鉴。

Sudden death(SD)is a special kind of death owing to disease,which severely threatening the lives of community population.As the most common type of SD,sudden cardiac death(SCD)has always been a crucial content of identification and research in forensic pathology.This article reviews the research progress from the aspects of epidemiology,morphology,molecular pathology and virtual anatomy of SCD in forensic medicine,so as to provide a reference for the morphological identification,determination of cause of death,and integrated control of this kind of SD.
