ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF-CORONER <br />AUTOPSY REPORT <br />MERCADO SEGURA, Miguel A. 20-00372-MM <br />Page9 <br />Within the pericardia! sac there is a mild amount of serous fluid of approximately <br />20 cc. The heart weighs 300 grams and shows a normal configuration. The right <br />ventricle measures 0.4 cm in thickness, the left ventricle measures 1.0 cm in <br />thickness, and the interventricular septum measures 1.0 cm in thickness. <br />The chambers are otherwise normally developed and are without mural <br />thrombosis. The great vessels enter and leave in a normal fashion. The blood <br />within the heart and large vessels is still of minimal amount and mostly liquid. The <br />heart valves are thin, leafy, and competent. The circumferences of the valve rings <br />are: aortic -6.1 cm, mitral -10.5 cm, pulmonic -6.5 cm, and tricuspid -11.5 cm . <br />There is no evidence of any endocardial discoloration, myocardial lesions, or any <br />abnormalities of the apices of the papillary musculature. <br />The coronary ostia are widely patent. There is a normal pattern of coronary artery <br />distribution, right dominant pattern. There is hardly any evidence of any coronary <br />artery disease with an overall wide and patent lumen throughout the major <br />coronary arteries. <br />RESPIRATORY SYSTEM: There are scant secretions seen in the lower bronchial <br />and upper respiratory passages. The mucosa of the trachea is otherwise intact and <br />pale. The left lung weighs 260 grams. The right lung weighs 260 grams. The lungs <br />are otherwise subatelectatic on the left side and severely atelectatic on the right <br />side. They overall appear both dense in consistency. The cut surfaces show mild <br />to moderate edema throughout with acute generalized congestion . There is no <br />evidence of any other parenchymal lesions with mild intraparenchymal <br />hemorrhages which is consistent with the above-mentioned injuries of the right <br />lungs. The pulmonary vasculature is without thromboembolism. <br />GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM: The esophagus is intact throughout. The <br />stomach is not distended. It contains 70 cc of pink to brown fluids. No portions of <br />tablets or capsules can be discerned in the stomach. The mucosa otherwise <br />shows the usual rugal folds without any additional mucosa! lesions. The small <br />intestines, large intestines, and pancreas are otherwise grossly unremarkable . Of <br />note, the pancreas appears slightly paler than usual. <br />HEPATOBILIARY SYSTEM: The liver weighs 1210 grams and the capsule is <br />intact. The parenchyma is dark red and brown in color and cuts with firm <br />2020-02•04 KC
