title: Be smart, don't kick the heart.
abstract: Blunt chest trauma is a rare cause of cardiac pathology. Nevertheless, a variety of life-threatening cardiac diseases can be caused by blunt chest traumas. In this case report we describe a myocardial infarction associated with kickboxing. We also review the literature describing myocardial infarction associated with blunt chest trauma.
