متن کاملUpper and lower limits of vulnerability to sudden arrhythmic death with chest-wall impact (commotio cordis).
OBJECTIVES In an animal model of commotio cordis, sudden death with chest-wall impact, we sought to systematically evaluate the importance of impact velocity in the generation of ventricular fibrillation (VF) with baseball chest-wall impact. BACKGROUND Sudden cardiac death can occur with chest-wall blows in recreational and competitive sports (commotio cordis). Analyses of clinical events sug...
