Abstract
No correlation was seen between gender, age, heart weight, degree of coronary atherosclerosis, myocardial fibrosis, survival and MFB. If our postulate is correct, finding MFB in the myocardium might allow the diagnosis of a malignant arrhythmia followed by cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation even in the absence of clinical information (sudden death out-of-hospital).
