Abstract

Recently, an increased vehicle use, resulted in icreased in-vehicle traffic accidents at emergency departments. Heart is the another organ that should be kept in mind in frequently encountered blunt chest traumas. Chorda tendinea and papillary muscle ruptures even including myocardium may be life threatening emergent condition. Chorda ruptures and cardiac valve regurgitations should be kept in mind in patients with worsening heart failure symptoms, cardiac auscultatory abnormalities and elevated liver enzymes, who injured at in-vehicle accident

Özet

Son zamanlarda giderek artan taşıt kullanımı, Acil Servislere gelen araç içi trafik kazalarında artışı da beraberinde getirmiştir. Sıklıkla karşılaşılan delici olmayan göğüs yaralanmalarında akılda tutulması gereken bir diğer organ da kalptir. Özellikle bu hastalarda korda tendinea, papiller kas veya doğrudan kalp kası yırtılmaları ani ve hayatı tehdit edici acil durumlar yaratabilir. Ani gelişen ve/veya izlemde aniden kötüleşen kalp yetmezliği kliniklerinde, yeni saptanan karaciğer enzim testlerindeki yüksekliklerde ve kardiyak dinleme bulguları anormalliklerinde, öyküde delici olmayan göğüs yaralanması varsa, korda tendinea yırtılmaları ve kapak yetmezlik durumları akla gelmelidir
