“…MAISS was entered as a categorical variable, the lowest being b0Q and the highest being b6Q. ISS was entered as bMildQ (ISS 1-12), bModerateQ (ISS [13][14][15][16][17][18][19], bSevereQ (ISS 20-75) or bMinorQ (ISS 1-3), bModerateQ (ISS 4-7), bSeriousQ (ISS 8-15), bSevere to CriticalQ (ISS 16-75) [32].…”

“…Other patients may develop cardiac failure which responds to medical treatment with diuretics, digoxin, and vasodilators (particularly the angiotension converting enzyme inhibitors). In patients with severe left ventricular damage the quality of life may remain poor despite medical treatment 32 ) and an operation must be considered, for example, an aneurysm resection 33 ) if myocardial damage is localized. In our case, diuretics were used with absolute bed rest.…”

Several cases of transmural myocardial infarction1–11) and ventricular aneurysm12–14) caused by a blunt trauma of the chest have been reported. Nevertheless, the cases documented with coronary and ventricular angiography are very few5,8–11,14).There has always been a debate over the etiological mechanism of such lesions. Since in some cases there was no evidence of coronary lesions5,9,11,14), it was postulated that they were produced by direct myocardial contusion, but in other instances the evidence of coronary occlusion was angiographically8,10) and pathologically2,3) proved.We experienced a case of acute myocardial infarction with ventricular aneurysm secondary to nonpenetrating chest trauma by an umbrella tip and wish to report this unusual case, along with a review of the literature.

“…The main causes of blunt traumatic aortic injuries (76%) are lateral and head-on motor vehicle collisions at speeds greater than 50 km/h, or accidents associated with substantial car deformation, followed by falls from heights and crush injuries [ 12 , 13 ]. Coronary dissection and rupture resulting from trauma have also been reported [ 14 - 18 ] where blunt injury was found to be the leading mechanism [ 19 - 21 ].…”
