ECG of pneumopericardium and probable myocardial contusion shows typical pericarditis Male in 30's, 2 days after Motor Vehicle Collsion, complains of Chest Pain and Dyspnea Head On Motor Vehicle Collision. Atrial fibrillation is also a predictor of worse outcomes in this case (Alborzi). ST depression. Myocardial Contusion?

Another frequent feature of hypothermia is atrial fibrillation (not seen in this case) Core temperature of this patient was 29,5 Celsius. Prominent J waves of this morphology thus are called Osborn waves. Severe hypothermia not uncommonly has accompanying T waves inversions. Troponins were negative in serial blood tests.

This ECG shows a sinus bradycardia with a normal conduction pattern (normal PR, normal QRS, and normal QTc), normal axis, normal R-wave progression, normal voltages. Hypothermia can also produce bradycardia and J waves, with a pseudo-STEMI pattern. J-wave-associated ventricular fibrillation in a patient with a subarachnoid haemorrhage.
