  • Title: It's not cricket! Myocardial infarction following non-penetrating blunt chest trauma.
    Author: Heymann TD, Culling W.
    Journal: Br J Clin Pract; 1994; 48(6):338-9. PubMed ID: 7848805.
    Abstract:
    While playing a game of cricket, a 42-year-old man was struck on the chest by the ball. The blunt trauma precipitated a myocardial infarct in the absence of other risk factors or evidence of pre-existing coronary artery disease. Probable pathophysiological mechanisms and potential problems of immediate treatment are discussed.
