Myocardial Contusion treatment in Santiago de Querétaro

The cardiologist is the specialist who assesses myocardial contusion, an injury to the heart muscle produced by a direct and forceful blow to the chest, for example in accidents or major trauma.

Common symptoms: chest pain, palpitations or irregular heartbeats and, in some cases, fatigue after the trauma; the symptoms may vary depending on the magnitude of the blow.

When to seek care? Any significant chest trauma, especially if accompanied by chest pain or rhythm disturbances, requires prompt evaluation.

Which specialist treats it? After the initial care of the trauma, the cardiologist is the one who studies the state of the heart and monitors its recovery. After a hard blow to the chest, the most sensible thing is to allow this professional to assess the heart.
