At the present day, the most acceptable and informative tests for the diagnosis of myocardial contusion in patients with trauma is electrocardiographic monitoring, in combination with the determination of cardiac troponins concentration in the blood. Based on the analysis of the results of the most highly-regarded modern research and our own clinical experience, it has been shown that in any suspicion of myocardial contusion in domestic medical institutions all available diagnostic measures should be used. In all doubtful situations, further diagnostic and therapeutic tactics should be performed only for the be­nefit of a patient. ER -
