On examining a 51-year-old man with chest pain who was just involved in a motor vehicle accident, you find that at the end of expiration his blood pressure is 130/90 mmHg and at the end of inspiration it is 110/92 mmHg. Which one of the following conditions is most likely?
1) cardiac tamponade
2) pneumothorax
3) multiple rib fractures
4) acute myocardial infarction
5) aortic rupture

MVA can cause trauma to the chest. Either blunt trauma or a penetrating injury.
