    Abstract:
    The authors present their experiences with blunt heart injuries treated in the University Surgical Hospital in Split, Croatia. The diagnostic approach hospitalization and follow-up of these patients are described. The heart contusion was diagnosed using several repeated electrocardiographic and enzymatic tests combined with two-dimensional echocardiography. We treated 67 patients with heart contusions within two-year period. Out of them, 63 (94%) were dismissed from the hospital as cured, and 4 (6%) of them died. Results of treatment depend on the severity of injury, but also on a timely and adequate management.
