Past medical history:- -diet controlled DM(type 2) -hypertension -intermittent claudication -several attacks of chest pain over the 5yrs before death what is the likely cause of death? why was no evidence of myocardial infarction found during post-mortem?

Is it just me, or do others think this looks a lot like somebody's homework question? -- David Wright :: wright at ibnets.com :: Not a Spokesman for Anyone These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct.

Hmmmm.... cardiac arrest? Quote: > why was no evidence of myocardial infarction found during post-mortem? Perhaps because there was no myocardial infarction? I have to agree with D.
