Overview
Echocardiography or ultrasound
Echocardiography holds a vital role in both diagnosing and assessing commotio cordis. By employing echocardiography, potential structural anomalies or heart injuries caused by the impact can be detected. Furthermore, it enables an evaluation of heart functionality and the identification of indications for pericardial effusion or additional complications.
Echocardiography can aid in the diagnosis of specific cardiac injuries.
- Doppler echocardiography: can be used to diagnose coronary artery rupture.
- Transthoracic or Transesophageal echocardiography: can help identify pericardial tamponade and cardiac lacerations.
