   Sep 25, 2021 · Cardiac trauma is a relatively less common consequence of blunt injury, occurring in less than 10% of trauma admissions; however, it is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Approximately 25% of traumatic deaths occur due to cardiac related injuries ( 2 , 8 - 10 , 12 - 15 ).
