Post-traumatic Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy in a Pediatric Patient: A Rare Case and Diagnostic Challenge.
Cureus
November 2024
Anesthesia and Critical Care, Mohammed VI University Hospital, Tangier, MAR.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is a rare condition in children that causes acute, severe, but often reversible systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle. Physical trauma is a recognized trigger, although distinguishing TTC from myocardial contusion in pediatric trauma cases can be challenging due to overlapping clinical features. We present the case of a six-year-old boy involved in a high-impact motor vehicle collision.

Development of the NOCSAE Standard to Reduce the Risk of Commotio Cordis.

April 2024
Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Cardiology, UTSouthwestern Medical Center, Dallas TX (M.S.L.).
Background: Commotio cordis, sudden cardiac death (SCD) caused by relatively innocent impact to the chest, is one of the leading causes of SCD in sports. Commercial chest protectors have not been demonstrated to mitigate the risk of these SCDs.
Methods: To develop a standard to assess chest protectors, 4 phases occurred.
Catastrophic injuries and exertional medical events in lacrosse among youth, high school and collegiate athletes: longitudinal surveillance over four decades (1982-2020).

Department of Exercise and Sport Science, National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA.
Objective: To determine the incidence rates (IRs) of catastrophic injuries and exertional medical events in lacrosse athletes.
Methods: Catastrophic injuries and exertional medical events in lacrosse in the US among youth or amateur, high school and college athletes were analysed from the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research (NCCSIR) database from 1982/83 to 2019/20. Frequencies, IRs per 100,000 athlete-seasons (AS) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) with 95% CIs were calculated.
Karate kick-induced myocardial contusion.
BMJ Case Rep
January 2024
Department of Cardiology, Medisch Centrum Haaglanden Westeinde, Den Haag, Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands.
Myocardial contusion should be suspected in a selected patient group with blunt thoracic trauma, who have elevated troponin, ECG changes and/or haemodynamical instability. Echocardiography is useful for direct visualisation of possible complications. In stable conditions, MRI allows for good visualisation of the heart and can confirm a suspected myocardial contusion as well as demonstrate the extent of myocardial damage.
