Abstract


Case report The emergency medical assistance team was sent for medical intervention because of a younger person lying in the corridor of the building without signs of life. Heteroanamnestically, information was obtained about delivery to the fifth floor of a building without an elevator. Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation was started, which was unsuccessful. Due to the fatal outcome in a public place, the police were called, and the body was sent for an autopsy, where myocarditis was histologically recorded. Conclusion: Myocarditis is an insufficiently recognized cause of sudden death in young people. Future research should be focused on adopting more precise criteria for lifetime detection of myocarditis in such high-risk occupations.
