721 cases of sudden coronary death (SCD) of men aged 30-59 were studied. It was found out that SCD happened in majority of cases in subjects with increased weight of heart: 44.2% of patients had heart weight of 500 g or more. A special histomorphometric study of kidneys (345 cases of SCD) revealed arterial hypertension (AH) in 41.2% of cases, which far exceeded AH incidence in the population of men of equal age. Nevertheless, not in all cases of SCD was myocardial hypertrophy caused by AH. In patients with no AH myocardial hypertrophy was usually caused by postinfarction cardiosclerosis. In certain cases of SCD without cardiosclerosis accompanied by manifest myocardial hypertrophy there were signs of dilatative or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The obtained results suggest that AH and increased weight of heart should be considered factors predisposing to SCD.

D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D003645 Death, Sudden The abrupt cessation of all vital bodily functions, manifested by the permanent loss of total cerebral, respiratory, and cardiovascular functions. Sudden Death
D006332 Cardiomegaly Enlargement of the HEART, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both HEART VENTRICLES or HEART ATRIA. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (HEART FAILURE) or several forms of CARDIOMYOPATHIES.
