TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - An unusual case of commotio cordis resulting in ventricular flutter JO - Journal of emergencies, trauma and shock A1 - Davey, Brooke T. A1 - Quintana, Carolina A1 - Upadhyay, Shailendra SP - 225 EP - 227 VL - 11 IS - 3 N2 - A 16-year-old male developed palpitations immediately following chest impact with a soccer ball. The patient was noted to have ventricular flutter in a delayed presentation that was successfully treated. While ventricular fibrillation is the predominant arrhythmia following commotio cordis, ventricular flutter may occur as well. Ventricular flutter may be better tolerated in a young athletic individual with structurally normal heart and may lead to a delayed presentation.
