Abstract
The cadaver for the axial sections was that of a 56-year-old white male who experienced a precipitous cardiac death. The subject had endured several years of symptomatic coronary heart disease and a pacemaker had been implanted beneath the skin below the lateral third of the left clavicle. Electrodes were present in the right ventricle. The pacemaker and its electrodes were removed after the body was frozen, leaving a defect in the anterior chest wall in superior Sections 1–3.
