[Recurrent bradysystolic arrhythmia caused by closed thoracic trauma].
A case of slight thoracic trauma, part of more serious traumatism of the pelvis which developed a rare form of recurrent bradysystolia due to progressive slowdown of the sinus-atrial node, is reported. Emergency treatment with temporary i.v. electric stimulation allowed the patient to surmount the crisis and complete cure has now been evident for 8 months.
