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.

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.
