Bullet wound of the left ventricle

Abstract The case is presented of a patient who sustained a gunshot wound of the left ventricle which was visualized at surgery. Serial electrocardiograms were taken. Such a case provides a rare opportunity for correlating the anatomic and electrocardiographic location of myocardial lesions in the living human being. In this case the localization possible from electrocardiographic study was well correlated with the known location of the lesion.
