My Bestfriends brother died of sudden cardic death at 44. he had a mitral valve replacement (mechanical) surgery 6 years ago, then he just died, and he was just checked by the cardiologist 6 days earlyer with a good bill of health tho he was complaining of vertigo all the time. they said his heart was fine and to still take his meds, menwhile oneday in the afternoon of he gos to a friends house and drops dead. He's family wanted an autopsy because how could he just die?? so it says: from the Autopsy report: he had a microscopic fibrosis of the heart that was severy the whole heart??? does anyone know what that means and why would they just find that out after he died?? why cant they do a test to see if and who would have it like myself and my bestfriend?? is it from surgery or is it from child heart disesies? thes left ventricle shows hypertrophic changes, which includes are enlarged myocardial cells with prominent nuclei, there is extensive and diffuse myocardial fibrosos.. can some one please explain this to me?? why did this happen and what do's this mean?? will i have this too??? can someone please respond thank you peggie
