Abstract
Electrophysiological disturbances were observed in four cases of non-penetrating cardiac trauma. Ventricular tachycardia occurred both as an early and late complication in three, responding to medical treatment in two; it was cured by cryoablation in the other case. The fourth patient developed an isolated conduction defect associated with anteroseptal myocardial infarction, the coronary arteries and left ventricular function being normal.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
