Worms Found Inside Heart During Autopsy.. https://t.co/p2jLIPws1u
Maybe the eggs were floating in the blood and they stopped at a wound at the heart, probably it would be a failing valve
Don't know exactly what happened. But I will try to find out the facts but my opinion is that person might have had with Chronic Helminthic infection and then died.
Dirofilaria immitis, the heartworm or dog heartworm, is a parasitic roundworm that is spread from host to host through the bites of mosquitoes. The heartworm is a type of filarial worm, a small thread-like worm, that causes filariasis. The primary host is the dog, but it can also infect cats, wolves, coyotes, jackals, foxes, and other animals, such as ferrets, bears, sea lions and even, under very rare circumstances to humans. The parasite is commonly called "heartworm"; however, adults often reside in the pulmonary arterial system and there bores the walls of pulmonary arteries and runs into the Systemic Blood Circulation and then to the heart. A major effect on the health for the animal is a manifestation of damage to the lung vessels and tissues. Occasionally, adult heartworms migrate to the right heart and even the great veins in heavy infections. Heartworm infection may result in serious disease for the host, with death typically as the result of congestive heart failure and ultimately Death occurs if not treated early.
