RESUMO

Electrophysiological disturbances were observed in four cases of non-penetrating cardiac trauma. Ventricular tachycardia occurred both as an early and late complication in three, responding to medical treatment in two; it was cured by cryoablation in the other case. The fourth patient developed an isolated conduction defect associated with anteroseptal myocardial infarction, the coronary arteries and left ventricular function being normal.
