A Rare Case Report of Myocardial Infarction Due to Lightening
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Lightening is a natural phenomena which can lead injuries to the body. Lightning strikes in contrast to other high-voltage accidents are characterized by an extremely strong current and an extremely short exposure period. Injuries result from either the electrical energy, the high temperature, and/or the explosive power of the blast1,2 . It can involve all systems of the body,but short term mortality depends on cardiac affects. The electrophysiological effects on heart can result in supra ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, asystole, QT prolongation, non-specefic ST-T wave changes. we present a case of lightening induced myocardial infarction which is a very rare complication.
