AI Article Synopsis
- Electrical injuries can lead to serious health issues, particularly cardiac damage, which can be life-threatening.
- A case study highlights a young patient who experienced acute myocardial damage from an occupational electric shock, with assessments conducted via MRI both early on (day 4) and later (up to month 18).
- Managing and estimating risks in such cases is difficult due to the lack of existing data and guidelines for similar non-lethal electrical injuries.
Article Abstract
Electrical injuries are not uncommon, and electrical shock-induced cardiac damage can be life-threatening. We present the case of a young patient who suffered from acute myocardial damage due to an occupational electric shock. Myocardial damage was assessed by very early (day 4) and repeated (up to month 18) MRI. Clinical management and patient risk estimation in such a setting are challenging because data on similar non-lethal cases and practice recommendations are scarce in the literature.
