Default In Memory of Dan Neuman

He had some degree of coronary artery disease ("hardening of the
arteries")and thickening of the left ventricular wall, but the
microscopic examination does not disclose evidence of acute myocardial
infarction (heart attack). There is described an area of myocardial
fibrosis (scarring), which could result from an old infarction or other
causes. He did not have the most healthy of hearts, but the autopsy
report (as you quoted) doesn't prove a cause of medical incapacitation.

Are there any readers with the medical knowledge necessary to
interpret the autopsy findings, and see if they are consistent with a
hart attack?
