Scientists have named the cause of death of Chopin

Ученые назвали причину смерти Шопена Scientists have studied the heart of the composer

Polish doctors examined the heart of Frederic Chopin, which is stored in Warsaw, and came to the conclusion that the famous composer apparently died of pericarditis (heart disease) caused by tuberculosis.

In 1849, the composer died in Paris at age 39. Chopin requested that after death his body was opened up, took the heart and buried in Poland.

The results of the autopsy were lost, so now are several versions: tuberculosis, stenosis (narrowing) of the mitral valve, a genetic disease cystic fibrosis or congenital deficiency of alpha-1-antitrypsin which can lead to the development of emphysema.

In 2014, the Polish physicians under the direction of Dr. Michal Witt Institute of human genetics in Poznan opened the urn containing the heart of Chopin and explored it.

The heart was kept in amber-brown liquid. Apparently, it was cognac, which since the French revolution has been used to preserve human organs and tissues.

After visual examination the doctors came to the conclusion that in the end of his life Chopin had developed pericarditis, which was caused by tuberculosis. This is one of the most serious complications of this disease with the high level of deaths.
