Abstract

Acomprehensive forensic study of cases of sudden death of school-age children during physical exertion and sports. Investigated 9 cases of sudden death of children aged 8 to 17 years that occurred during exercise. It was studied anthropometric indicators, histological and biochemical studies to identify changes in internal organs and the cardiovascular system. The forensic medical characteristics of sudden death cases of schoolchildren are given. Along with the constitutional features, the characteristic changes in some tissues and internal organs in particular the heart and blood vessels were determined. The data obtained make it possible to develop an algorithm and propose a methodological approach for diagnosing sudden death of school-age children. The results of the study can be used as additional forensic criteria for assessing the risk of sudden death of children during physical activity.
