Sumario:A 16-year-old male developed palpitations immediately following chest impact with a soccer ball. The patient was noted to have ventricular flutter in a delayed presentation that was successfully treated. While ventricular fibrillation is the predominant arrhythmia following commotio cordis, ventricular flutter may occur as well. Ventricular flutter may be better tolerated in a young athletic individual with structurally normal heart and may lead to a delayed presentation.
