Resumo

Abstract The electrocardiographic studies of two patients with cardiac trauma, one with a gunshot wound of the apex of the left ventricle, and the other with a stab wound of the right auricle, are reported. In Case 1, the electrocardiographic picture of acute anterior coronary infarction is in keeping with the preoperative diagnosis of three wounds, one on the anterior surface and two on the posterior surface of the apex of the left ventricle. In Case 2, with a stab wound of the right auricle, the electrocardiographic changes reveal prolongation of P-R intervals to 0.24 second. The other changes in the electrocardiographic pattern may be attributed to acute pericarditis.
