Sports Related Deaths
This lecture reviews sudden death in athletes across both competitive and recreational sports. The spectrum of cardiovascular causes is covered, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, coronary artery anomalies, and atherosclerotic disease in older athletes, along with proper adult heart dissection techniques. Non-cardiac causes such as exertional heat stroke, commotio cordis, and traumatic brain injury in contact sports are also examined. The forensic pathologist's systematic approach to sports-related fatality investigation is emphasized throughout.
