  • Title: Cardiac trauma: Clinical and experimental correlations of myocardial contusion.
    Author: Doty DB, Anderson AE, Rose EF, Go RT, Chiu CL, Ehrenhaft JL.
    Journal: Ann Surg; 1974 Oct; 180(4):452-60. PubMed ID: 4412327.
    Abstract:
    Clinical and experimental observations in myocardial contusion have been correlated. Cardiac arrhythmia is always an important consequence and may be fatal. Reduction in cardiac output often accompanies significant cardiac injury. The coronary arterial circulation is not interrupted and is generally enhanced to the area of injury. Healing of the injury under these circulatory conditions may result in patchy scarring and peculiar adynamic areas of myocardium. Early diagnosis of myocardial contusion may be aided using radionuclide imaging with (99m)Tc-Sn-polyphosphate.
