- Description
- The aim of our study was to study the validity of the now generally accepted routine practice of pathologists of estimating coronary CSA by VA in the post-mortem room. Although the unreliability of VA is generally implicitly conceded, to our knowledge this has not been tested against objective morphometric analysis. Our study did this and found unaided VA unreliable.
