What are the complication due to getting stabbed in the heart?
Patient: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Pl My friend was stabbed in the heart and he went from ICU to the life trauma unit in less than two days.He seems to be doing better but I want to know if it is still a possibility he could die or have future complications? Doctor: Hello!Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!Regarding your concern, I would explain that the risk of a cardiac arrhythmia may be present, due to the trauma. Anyway, it depends on the possible cardiac injury and other commorbidities. For this reason, I would like to directly review his cardiac ultrasound and ECG, coupled with blood lab tests (and cardiac enzymes), if you can upload them for a more professional opinion. Hope you will find this answer helpful!Kind regards, Dr. Iliri
