  • Title: Transient trifascicular block complicating myocardial contusion after blunt chest trauma: a case report.
    Author: Bortnik M, Occhetta E, Ruggeri C, Marino P.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown); 2008 Sep; 9(9):937-40. PubMed ID: 18695435.
    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.
