Commotio Cordis

Commotio cordis may be a Latin meaning "agitation of the heart". It is defined as sudden cardiac death auxiliary to generally low-impact limit injury to the front chest wall. Sudden cardiac death following chest injury has been detailed within the therapeutic writing since the center of the 18th century within the setting of chest trauma among workers . Whereas the precise frequency of these nonstructural cardiac wounds is obscure, generally due to under-reporting of cases, commotio cordis has been detailed as the second most common cause of sudden death in athletes, particularly in baseball and hockey players (sports with limit shots) and football players (a sport with more physical body contact). Young males are basically affected.

The below risk factors in a young athlete, especially if it follows trauma to the chest:

  • Fainting or seizures during or after exercising
  • Any indication of chest pains
  • Unexplained shortness of breath or long time to catch breath
