The organs of the abdominal cavity have a normal arrangement and none are absent. There is no evidence of any peritonitis, abdominal adhesions, or peritoneal fluid collection. CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM: The aorta is elastic and of even caliber throughout with vessels distributed normally from it. There is no tortuosity or widening of the thoracic segment. The abdominal aorta as well as the thoracic segment show hardly any evidence of any atherosclerosis with only very faint, focal areas of lipid streaking. There is no evidence seen of any plaque formation, dilatation, calcification or aneurysms of the abdominal segment. The major branches of the aorta show no gross abnormality. Within the pericardial sac there is a minimal amount of serous fluid of approximately 30 cc. The heart weighs 370 grams and shows a normal configuration. The right ventricle measures 0.3 cm in thickness, the left ventricle measures 1.3 cm in thickness, and the interventricular septum measures 1.2 cm in thickness. The chambers are otherwise normally developed and are without mural thrombosis. The great vessels enter and leave in a normal fashion. The blood within the heart and large vessels is still of mild to moderate amount and mostly liquid. The heart valves are thin, leafy, and competent. The circumferences of the valve rings are: aortic – 7.5 cm, mitral – 10.2 cm, pulmonic – 8.1 cm, and tricuspid – 12.0 cm. There is no evidence of any endocardial discoloration, myocardial lesions, or any abnormalities of the apices of the papillary musculature. The coronary ostia are widely patent. There is a normal pattern of coronary artery distribution, right dominant pattern. There is hardly any evidence of any coronary artery disease with an overall wide and patent lumen throughout the major coronary arteries. RESPIRATORY SYSTEM: There are scant secretions seen in the lower bronchial and upper respiratory passages. The mucosa of the trachea is otherwise intact and pale. The left lung weighs 760 grams. The right lung weighs 900 grams. The lungs are otherwise boggy in consistency and demonstrate hardly any evidence of any remaining crepitus. The cut surfaces show at least moderate to partially oozing
