Morbus cordis Means no more than heart disease. Probably used by doctors when they did not know the exact cause of death but were sure it was natural causes. May sometimes mean heart failure From Archaic Medical Terms web site Linda

I try and avoid looking at causes of death! I thought it was just my Dad's side which had a history of emphysema but then I found out it's on the other side as well! One day I'll quit the ciggies!
