If this was the cause hopefully he will be ok
A myocardial contusion, or cardiac contusion, is a bruise on your heart muscle. Common causes include car crashes and falls. Treatment depends on the complications that may happen after this blunt cardiac injury. Recovery depends on the severity of your injury, but most people make a full recovery.
A myocardial contusion can affect anyone. Examples include:
- A teenager or young adult who gets hurt while participating in an extreme sport.
A cardiac contusion rarely causes major issues that last a long time. Abnormal heart rhythms from a myocardial contusion usually go away in 24 hours.
