  1. (a The cause of death in 8 decedents was undetermined due to incomplete information in 1305 cases. The cause of death in 3 decedents was undetermined due to incomplete information in 1065 cases. The cause of death in 11 decedents was undetermined due to incomplete information in 2370 cases. b Cardiomyopathies included primary and secondary cardiomyopathies, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, adipositas cordis and hypertensive cardiomyopathy. c Inflammation included myocarditis, endocarditis, epicarditis, pericarditis and valvulitis. d Other cardiovascular diseases included cardiac conduction diseases and congenital heart diseases.)
