Fritze E.
According to our knowledge to day the cause of a heart infarction is a stenosing
atheromatosis of the coronary vessels or an associated coronary thrombosis.
Here are described two cases with
unusual precipitating factors of a heart infarction, one by an anaphylactic
reaction caused by smallpox vaccination, the other case caused by a very
intensive stress situation. As the basic condition in the two cases was accepted
a coronary heart disease but the described events were considered by the author
as the determinating concomitant cause for the social accident insurance in
consequence of their intensity and acuteness.
