Cardiologists & Cardiology Testing NJ

Cardiologists are doctors who specialize in disorders and issues of the heart. Heart injuries are not uncommon in accident victims, and it takes a talented, well-trained doctor to diagnose and treat these issues.

Myocardial contusion (bruising)

Myocardial contusion is bruising of the heart muscle. This bruising can range from mild to severe, and is generally caused when a driver’s chest hits the steering wheel during an auto accident. Symptoms include:

  • “Racing heart” feeling
  • Pain in the front of the ribs and sternum
  • Chest pain or pressure resembling symptoms of a heart attack
  • Shortness of breath
  • Weakness and lightheadedness
  • Nausea/vomiting

Our cardiologists can perform a wide range of cardiac tests, and may send an accident victim displaying these symptoms to our on-site radiology services. It is important to treat myocardial contusion, because more severe cases left untreated run the risk of leading to permanent heart damage or even heart failure. Drivers can lessen the risk of developing a myocardial contusion by wearing a seatbelt or driving a vehicle with airbags, although it should be noted that the full force of airbag deployment could cause the same issues as colliding with the steering wheel.
This type of blunt chest trauma can cause a variety of other serious cardiac issues, including:

  • Cardiac tamponade – accumulation of fluid in the sac surrounding the heart
  • Traumatic aortic disruption – tearing or rupturing of the aorta due to trauma
