Key result
Myocardial contusion caused by a baseball induced arrhythmias during an exercise test one week post-injury, highlighting the need for careful monitoring even without resting arrhythmias.
Patients with myocardial contusion but without arrhythmias at rest may still be at risk for exercise-induced arrhythmias and require careful evaluation.
May unmask exercise-induced arrhythmias post-myocardial contusion without resting events; leaves open standardized monitoring protocols.
Myocardial contusion is a rare type of sports injury. We report a case of myocardial contusion caused by a baseball. In this patient, arrhythmias were induced by an exercise test 1 week after injury. That patients with myocardial contusion but without arrhythmias at rest need to be treated carefully is emphasized.
