Overview
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 such as complete heart block, idioventricular rhythm, and atrial fibrillation have also been reported.
- 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.
