Pediatric blunt chest trauma may induce SVT; extends sparse case reports but leaves open need for prospective validation.
Alp et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Supraventricular tachycardia (n=1). Blunt chest trauma was evaluated on Development of supraventricular tachycardia. Blunt chest trauma from a football caused supraventricular tachycardia in a healthy 12-year-old girl, which was successfully restored to sinus rhythm with intravenous adenosine.
