What Is a Blunt Cardiac Injury?
A blunt cardiac injury or BCI is a diagnosis of a trauma to the chest that can cause a heart attack. Many people who are assaulted or battered, can suffer from a blunt cardiac injury or heart attack as the result of the assault. A BCI can occur when there is the blunt trauma to the chest. This action will create an absence of severe arrhythmia and a hemodynamic instability, which can stop the heart. Any one having a BCI can also have cardiac complications which can be life-threatening.
You can be a victim of BCI if you receive an assault and battery to your person. The human body was never set up to receive blunt traumas to the chest and not have it affect organs in that exchange. In the event that you have suffered a heart attack after a blunt trauma to the chest, you can call us today to review your claim. Your injury to your heart may result in a catastrophic and permanent injury for you. This means that you can have internal scarring on your heart muscle, that can affect you for the rest of your life. It can also lead to a disability down the road, and it is why you need to call us immediately to review your claim.

Force and Magnitude of a Blunt Trauma to the Heart Will Determine the Likelihood of a Resulting Heart Attack
If you are assaulted and experience a blunt trauma to the chest, you are at an increased risk of developing a heart attack as a result of that injury. If there is enough force to the heart during an assault or a battery, the victim can experience a serious injury. In those cases, the heart can be compressed between the individual’s sternum and spine. In some situations, a deceleration injury can tear the heart from its attachments, which is not a survivable injury for the majority of people.

How Can a Heart Attack Happen After an Assault and Battery?
If a person is a victim of an assault and battery, the individual can sustain a blunt force trauma to the chest. This trauma can come in the form of:
