Indirect Ballistic Injury Resulting in Non–ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Gunshot-related myocardial injuries typically result from direct penetrating injury by the traversing bullet. We present a case of gunshot-related myocardial injury in the absence of direct penetrating injury to the cardiac structures and describe alternative mechanisms for ballistic-induced injury.
