Analyses were made of the cause of death and major pathologic findings among 1,085 autopsied Japanese-American men in Hawaii to determine the differences between the 167 men who experienced sudden death within 24 hours of being well and the 918 men with non-sudden death. Sudden deaths were further divided into three subgroups according to the interval from the onset of symptoms to death: (less than one hour; one to six hours; more than six hours). Nearly 90 percent of sudden deaths and 25 percent of non-sudden deaths were attributed to cardiovascular disease. The proportion of deaths due to coronary heart disease was highest in sudden deaths less than one hour (72 percent) and lowest in sudden deaths more than six hours (49 percent), whereas the proportion of stroke deaths was highest in sudden deaths more than six hours (37 percent) and lowest in sudden deaths less than one hour (9 percent). The prevalence of myocardial infarction and the grade of coronary atherosclerosis were also significantly greater for sudden deaths (especially sudden deaths less than one hour) than for non-sudden deaths.
