“…Cardiac contusion may be immediately lethal if a severe arhythmia is induced or if severe trauma to the atrioventricular node occurs [20]. Less serious conduction disturbances such as bifascicular block are usually transient and well tolerated [9,18]. As expected, the clinical presentation of cardiac contusion varies according to the degree of trauma; however, most patients have no cardiac symptoms.…”

“…The mechanism of blunt trauma‐associated AV block was elucidated in a 1969 report of demonstrating perinodal hemorrhage in addition to complete transaction within the Bundle of His 2 . A 1972 case report highlighted the reversible nature of both the AV block and right bundle branch block (RBBB) associated with blunt trauma 3 . The identification of a VSD following penetrating and blunt cardiac trauma is 4.5%, 4 but these data include autopsy identification.…”

We present a 30-year-old US army soldier who had penetrating chest trauma from a road side explosive with focal cardiac injury. The soldier had penetration of his right atrium and subsequent traumatic membranous ventricular septal defect and complete heart block. He was brought to a Combat Support Hospital where fortuitously the assigned trauma surgeon on-call was a cardiothoracic surgeon, and the assigned trauma intensivist on-call was a cardiac electrophysiologist. Of course, the only source they knew of a pacemaker was halfway around the world. We discuss the management of this injury in an austere combat environment.

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.
