Cardiac contusion can cause life threatening arrhythmias and cardiac failure. Many diagnostic methods, ...
متن کاملMedical legal implications of cardiac contusion – case report
Cardiac contusions (contusio cordis) usually appear in penetrating thoracic trauma or high energy blunt trauma and only rarely in thoracic blunt trauma in homicidal context. The diagnosis could be easy if a traumatic context is/can be proven; if not the differential diagnosis with myocardial infarction, other causes of cardiac hemorrhages or post resuscitation cardiac trauma can be very difficu...
