Article Synopsis
- Modern cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are designed to withstand external electric shocks, but the effects of lightning on these devices remain uncertain.
- A case involving a 74-year-old man with a pacemaker struck by lightning revealed significant battery and lead damage, leading to the need for device replacement.
- The differences in reactions to lightning between this patient and others may be influenced by factors like the type of pacemaker, the way the electric current spreads, and how the injury occurred.

Background: Few electrocardiographic parameters beyond the QRS duration were studied with regard to the correlation with mechanical dyssynchrony. This study aims to analyze the correlation between electrocardiographic parameters and mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF) and left bundle branch block (LBBB).
Methods: Patients with HF, ejection fraction ≤ 35%, and QRS interval ≥ 120 ms with a LBBB were prospectively studied.
