Article Abstract
Myocardial contusion is a complication of blunt thoracic injuries. Transthoracic echocardiography and electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring are important in suspected cases. We report a 54-year-old man, who sustained a number of injuries including blunt chest injury as a consequence of a road traffic accident. Electrocardiography monitoring over a 48 h period demonstrated sequential degrees of conduction system block coupled with a temporary cardio-version from persistent atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm, suggesting coincident pulmonary vein contusion.

Cardiovascular dysfunction significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality following cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). Unfortunately, only a limited number of preclinical models have been developed for investigating cardiovascular dysfunction following cervical SCI. Furthermore, the broader consequences of cervical SCI on aerobic capacity and muscle endurance during physiological stress testing also remains understudied preclinically.

We present the case of a 57-year-old male patient who was admitted for a scheduled atrial flutter ablation. He has a history of two hospital admissions: the most recent for heart failure and the other due to polytrauma after a high impact car accident 23 years ago. He reported progressive lower limbs edema.

Background: Myocardial contusion typically occurs from blunt cardiac trauma often due to motor vehicle collisions and falls from a significant height. Gunshot wounds may cause compression and stretching of tissue from the sonic pressure waves that precedes the bullet. Myocardial contusions are difficult to accurately diagnose due to lack of standardized approach to their evaluation and variability in their presentation.
