Almost all of the patients with commotio cordis will die without any proper intervention due to arrhythmia. More than two third of those with prompt cardiopulmonary resuscitation/defibrillation experience a full physical recovery, while the remaining patients exhibit mild to moderate residual neurological disability or cardiac impairment during the follow-up period spanning from 1 to 20 years. Commotio cordis has a poor prognosis. However, a continuous rise of survival rates due to increasing awareness of the disease and  prompt intervention is evident.

Overview

Almost all of the patients with commotio cordis will die without any proper intervention due to arrhythmia. More than two third of those with prompt cardiopulmonary resuscitation/defibrillation experience a full physical recovery, while the remaining patients exhibit mild to moderate residual neurological disability or cardiac impairment during the follow-up period spanning from 1 to 20 years. Commotio cordis has a poor prognosis. However, a continuous rise of survival rates due to increasing awareness of the disease and prompt intervention is evident.

Natural history

Almost all of the patients with commotio cordis will die without any proper intervention due to arrhythmia. Prompt cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation are the main interventions which increase the survival rates[1].
