Six examples of cardiac damage secondary to non-penetrating trauma in road accidents are described. In all six cases the lesion was not recognised at the time of the accident but became clinically important two days to 17 years later. As the patients were young or had unusual lesions, the damage could be attributed to the accident. In older patients with common cardiac problems the trauma might not be recognised as the underlying cause.
本文描述了6例道路交通事故中非穿透性创伤继发心脏损伤的病例。在所有6例病例中,损伤在事故发生时均未被识别,但在事故发生后2天至17年才变得具有临床意义。由于患者年轻或有不寻常的损伤,损伤可归因于事故。在患有常见心脏问题的老年患者中,创伤可能未被识别为潜在原因。
