Overview
Autopsy examination remains the gold standard for confirming the diagnosis of commotio cordis and excluding other structural lesions in the heart. The autopsy findings in cases of commotio cordis typically show no structural or congenital abnormalities in the heart. It is important to exclude cardiac pathology, such as contusio cordis (cardiac bruising), to ensure an accurate cause of death.
