The efficacy of different methods of heart contusion diagnosis in patients with concomitant chest trauma was studied. Criteria of heart contusion diagnosis by electrocardiography, integral body rheography, ultrasonic diagnosis, heart enzymes analysis were covered. Comparative analysis revealed that there was no modern method with 100% diagnostic value. Only complex use of these methods permits to make objective diagnosis of heart contusion. This approach allowed to decrease diagnostic mistakes rate in patients with concomitant chest trauma by 18%.
