Abstract

Cardiac contusion may be frequently found in patients with blunt chest trauma, and it presents clinically as a spectrum of injuries of varying severity, including transient disorders of impulse formation and propagation. A rare observation of transient trifascicular block in a previously fit 32-year-old man involved in a car accident is reported. The importance of ECG monitoring and biochemical assessment of markers to unmask myocardial contusion is discussed.
