A rare case of Contusio Cordis: Fist fi ght leading to an Acute Myocardial Infarction due to Left Anterior Descending artery zissection
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Cardiac lesions resulting from blunt chest injuries can present as cardiac contusion; ventricular free wall rupture; ventricular septal rupture; and valvular lesion [1]. But acute Myocardial infarction (MI) from contusio cordis is a very rare complication. Here we present a case of fist punch to the chest leading to distal Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery dissection causing acute MI.
