Nonpenetrating traumatic complete heart block and myocardial infarction with normal coronaries: A case report with review of the literature

Abstract: A case of transient complete heart block and lateral wall myocardial infarction secondary to nonpenetrating chest trauma is presented. Lack of any associated cardiac lesions is an interesting feature of this case report. Proposed criteria for heart block secondary to trauma and difficulty in making the diagnosis of myocardial infarction secondary to trauma due to lack of appropriate “gold standard” are discussed.

“…The findings are shown in Tables 3 and 4. In 12 patients the coronary arteries were found to be completely normal in spite of the fact that they had had an AMI [3,8,20,22,23,29,41,45,47,56,58,63]. In these patients angiography was performed two days, one month, six weeks, three months, five months and more than six months after the trauma (see Table 5).…”

“…Bei dem hier vorgestellten Fall ist neben der Schädigung der ventrikulären Vorderwand auch von einer Mitbeteiligung der basisnahen septalen Region und somit von einer Schädigung des Reizleitungssystems auszugehen. Die Möglichkeit einer Restitutio ad integrum und damit die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer "nur" transienten AV-Blockierung liegt statistisch prinzipiell bei mehr als 70% in den ersten Wochen nach Trauma (2,9). Letzte Langzeit-EKG Kontrollen (12 Monate nach dem Unfallereignis) zeigten in Zusammenhang mit Schwindel bzw.…”

“…Die Entstehung posttraumatischer Arrhythmien kann auf verschiedenen Mechanismen basieren. Eine lokale Ödembildung oder Blutung, die Entstehung ektoper Foci durch "myocardial stretching", Elektrolytschwankungen oder vagosympathische Aktivierungen können ätiologisch eine Rolle spielen (3,9). Darüber hinaus ließen sich auch bei intaktem Koronarsystem lokale Ischämien sowie im Rahmen des Heilungsprozesses eine Fibrosierung bzw.…”
