Abstract

BACKGROUND: Conduction disturbances including type 2 second-degree atrioventricular block (Mobitz II) and third-degree atrioventricular block following blunt chest trauma are probably rare. Moreover, the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for this rare dysrhythmia following trauma are not well understood yet. In this study, it was aimed to identify the frequency of this dysrhythmia associated with trauma.
