title: Postcardiac Injury Syndrome Following Acute Myocardial Infarction Related to Blunt Chest Trauma.
abstract: Blunt chest trauma can cause acute myocardial infarction, which may also be associated with pericarditis. However, such cases are rare. We herein report a case of a 57-year-old man suffering from acute myocardial infarction due to a blunt chest trauma and postcardiac injury syndrome after discharge with spontaneous resolution of a total coronary occlusion.
