Abstract
The relationship of coronary thrombosis to myocardial necrosis needs reassessment: the evidence, from systematic histologic study of the major coronary arteries in consecutive patients, suggests that thrombi are more likely to be the result of acute myocardial infarction than the cause. Support for this view comes also from the fact that thrombi are found much more often when death has not been instantaneous.Keywords
