“…The spectrum of complication of myocardial contusion ranges from minor bruises of the myocardium to cardiac rupture. Severe myocardial contusion may induce a decrease in cardiac function, but frank cardiogenic shock and cardiac rupture are rare complications [67][68][69].…”

Due to the lack of information, the pathogenesis of the death of Jesus of Nazareth is still widely debated. A univocal pathogenesis can be detected by the close comparison between what is reported in the Holy Bible (in particular the four Gospels and the prophetic passages of the Old Testament) and what can be observed on the Turin Shroud (TS). Obviously the authenticity of the latter must be here accepted in the sense that it wrapped the corpse of Jesus of Nazareth.The criteria used to support or ignore many etiological hypotheses regarding the terminal event that caused Jesus' death must take into account: an acute fact, the perfect lucidity and the cry of Jesus immediately before his death. We conclude that the causes of death are:Terminal cause: myocardial infarction, heart rupture and hemopericardium.Contributing and accelerating causes, in chronological order: 1. severe emotional stress and sweating with hematohydrosis, 2. fl uid loss without drinking, 3. beating and scourging, 4. crown of thorns, 5. blunt trauma to the neck and thorax following the fall with right shoulder dislocation, paralysis of the entire right brachial plexus, pulmonary contusion with hemothorax and cardiac contusion, 6. nailing, 7. probable left ulnar proximal paralysis from stretching during crucifi xion, 8. probable right foot dislocation from stretching during crucifi xion, 9. causalgia, 10. Hypoventilation, 11. Hemorrhagic-hypovolemicpolitraumatic and suspension shock.

“…It may arise as a result of direct myocardial damage or as a result of mismatch between myocardial oxygen supply and consumption [9]. ECG findings included non specific ST-segment-T-wave changes, ST segment elevation and depression, T-wave abnormalities, right bundle branch block and atrioventricular blocks, tachycardia including nodal tachycardia, atrial fibrillation and flutter, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, [10] whereas Q-waves are rarely observed [11].…”

Cardiac contusion, usually caused by blunt chest trauma, has been recognized with increased frequency over the past decades. Traffic accidents are the most frequent causes of cardiac contusion resulting from a direct blow to the chest. Myocardial contusion is difficult to diagnose; the clinical presentation varies greatly, ranging from a lack of symptoms to cardiogenic shock and arrhythmia. Although death is rare, cardiac contusion can be fatal. The authors report a case of death due to a cardiac conduction system injury from a blunt chest impact following a car accident. The autopsy showed no external signs of thoracic trauma, no evident rib or sternum fractures. A small sub-endocardial hemorrhage was found in the region of the atrioventricular node. Histological examination revealed an injury of the atrioventricular node and His' bundle. The cause of the death was attributed to the arrhythmia induced by contusion of the cardiac conduction system. ª 2014 Hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of The International Association of Law and Forensic Sciences (IALFS).
