Commotio Cordis

https://www.facebook.com/TheENPTPodcast

Happy Tuesday crewmembers. This week’s episode I am going to be discussing Commotio cordis. What does it mean? What is the percentage of cases of commotio cordis seen ion ERs today? How on earth does this freakish event occur? Have you ever transported a Commotio cordis case? Do you have the burning desire to find out what Dim mak is and can you really send someone into V Fib by doing it? Commotio cordis, which translates from Latin origin as "agitation of the heart," is defined as sudden cardiac death secondary to a blunt, nonpenetrating anterior precordial impact. Sudden death from commotio cordis is a primary arrhythmic event, and, importantly, the chest blow does not inflict direct structural damage to the heart itself. Despite a lack of awareness, commotio cordis is among the more common causes of sudden cardiac death in young athletes (along with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries)
