   Another possible cause of sustained impulse is heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. [1] Hyperdynamic precordium can also be due to hyperthyroidism, and thus indicates an increased cardiac contractility, with systolic hypertension. It may also be due to aortic coarctation, and most other congenital heart malformations. [citation needed]

   In anatomy, the precordium or praecordium is the portion of the body over the heart and lower chest. [1] Defined anatomically, it is the area of the anterior chest wall over the heart.

   The patient is positioned in the supine position tilted up at 45 degrees if the patient can tolerate this. The head should rest on a pillow and the arms by their sides.

   Impact energies of at least 50 joules (37 foot-pounds force) may cause cardiac arrest when applied at the right time and location of the precordium of an adult. [11] The 50-joule threshold, however, can be considerably lower when the victim's heart is under ischemic conditions, such as in coronary artery insufficiency. [11]
