Alerts clinicians to intrinsic vulnerability in chest trauma; extends mechano-electric feedback research but remains hypothesis-generating.
This review provides a mechanistic explanation for sudden cardiac death in Commotio cordis by linking it to cardiac mechano-electric feedback.
Peter Köhl (2001) conducted a review in Commotio cordis. Moderate pre-cordial mechanical impact in Commotio cordis causes sudden cardiac death through an intrinsic cardiac response linked to cardiac mechano-electric feedback.
