The most common rhythm observed in commotio cordis cases is ventricular fibrillation (VF). Other arrhythmias such as polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, complete heart block, idioventricular rhythm, atrial fibrillation, ST-segment elevation, T-wave abnormalities were reported. The timing and location of the impact are crucial in the generation of VF in commotio cordis. When the impact occurs directly over the heart within a specific window during the upslope of the T wave in ventricular repolarization, it triggers a rapid increase in left ventricular intracavitary pressure, leading to VF. | The most common [[rhythm]] observed in [[commotio cordis]] cases is [[ventricular fibrillation]] (VF).

Overview
The most common rhythm observed in commotio cordis cases is ventricular fibrillation (VF). Other arrhythmias such as polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, complete heart block, idioventricular rhythm, atrial fibrillation, ST-segment elevation, T-wave abnormalities were reported. The timing and location of the impact are crucial in the generation of VF in commotio cordis. When the impact occurs directly over the heart within a specific window during the upslope of the T wave in ventricular repolarization, it triggers a rapid increase in left ventricular intracavitary pressure, leading to VF.
Electrocardiogram
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) findings in commotio cordis can vary depending on the timing of the ECG recording and the presence of arrhythmias.
- The most common rhythm observed in commotio cordis cases is ventricular fibrillation (VF). Other arrhythmias were reported, such as:

- It is important to note that ECG findings may not always be abnormal in commotio cordis cases. reported a case of commotio cordis where the patient did not show any arrhythmias and did not receive any resuscitation procedure. The ECG alterations observed in this case improved over time[1][2][3].
