To evaluate cardiac complications associated with electrical injury, 7 patients with high-
tension electrical injury (6,600 V alternating current) underwent 201 Tl and 123 I …

We report on a case of non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) after electrocution. The diagnosis
was made on the basis of electrocardiographic and enzymatic changes and was supported …

Death from accidental electrocution is generally thought to be due to an arrhythmia, but little
is known of the anatomic changes in the heart and almost nothing is known about the …

The authors report the case of a 54 year old surgeon who received an electric shock from his
diathermy equipment. The shock caused an anteroseptal myocardial infarction complicated …

Non-invasive study of a 19 year old man, who sustained severe electric current injury,
showed electrocardiographic and enzymatic changes simulating acute myocardial …

Electrical injury can affect many organ systems, it seems that the damage results from the
conversion of electrical energy into heat. Electrical injuries to the heart are far less frequent …

Discussion Cardiac MRI in our patient showed both cardiac dilation and delayed diffuse
subepicardial enhancement, a pattern previously described in chronic myocarditis with heart …

For more than a decade physicians have employed external electric countershock to convert
certain cardiac arrythmias including ventricular fibrillation. The use of externally applied …
