Abstract EN
Electrical energy is a type of energy that is commonly used in daily life.
Ventricular premature beats, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, atrial tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, bundle branch blocks, and AV block are arrhythmic complications that are encountered in case of electric shocks.
Myocardial infarction is one of the rarely seen complications of electric shocks yet it has fatal outcomes.
Coronary arteries were detected to be normal in most of the patients who had myocardial infarction following an electric shock.
So, etiology of myocardial infarction is thought to be unrelated to coronary atherosclerosis in these cases.
Coronary artery vasospasm is thought to be the primary etiological cause.
In our case report, we presented a patient who developed ST elevation MI with atrial fibrillation after an electric shock.
