ABSTRACT
Blunt chest trauma may lead to cardiac involvement such as myocardial contusion, coronary artery dissection, cardiac rupture, or myocardial infarction. Early detection and treatment of complications such as these are essential. We describe a case status post collision with an iron ball and discuss how to detect myocardial infarction. We emphasize the importance of careful interview, physical examination, and electrocardiogram even in seemingly healthy patients. A severe blow, such as that described, can impair coronary artery flow and may potentially cause myocardial infarction.
