Electrophysiological manifestations of non-penetrating cardiac trauma.
Electrophysiological disturbances were observed in four cases of non-penetrating cardiac trauma. Ventricular tachycardia occurred both as an early and late complication in three, responding to medical treatment in two; it was cured by cryoablation in the other case. The fourth patient developed an isolated conduction defect associated with anteroseptal myocardial infarction, the coronary arteri...

متن کاملCardiac tamponade secondary to tension pneumopericardium from penetrating chest trauma.
Cardiac tamponade secondary to air is rare. Pneumopericardium is most commonly encountered in neonates, often secondary to positive pressure ventilation. 1-3 In adults blunt trauma is the main cause of pneumopericardium. Cardiac tamponade occurs in roughly one-third of such patients. 1 A 24-year-old man presented to the Tshepong casualty department with a stabbed chest. His vital signs were ini...
متن کاملPenetrating cardiac injuries in blunt chest wall trauma.
The present photocase illustrates the possible mechanism of direct cardiac injuries from broken sharp jagged fractured ends of ribs in blunt force trauma to the chest in run over traffic mishaps. We propose that the projecting fractured ends of the ribs penetrate the underlying thoracic organs due to the transient phenomenon of deformation of chest cavity under pressure in run over traffic mish...
متن کاملAn unusual intracardiac shunt secondary to penetrating cardiac trauma.
A 22 year old man was admitted to the accident and emergency department having sustained a 5 × 3 cm knife wound to the right anterior chest wall in the fourth intercostal space. He was haemodynamically stable on admission but dyspnoeic at rest. Pulse was 110 beats/min and blood pressure 106/60 mm Hg.
