Background: Electrical injuries are relatively infrequent but carry high morbidity and mortality. The spectrum of the injuries is wide, ranging from minimal injuries to life-threatening internal organ damage and death. The heart is one of the organs of the human body most susceptible to damage by electrical injury. Arrhythmias, conduction disturbances, and myocardial infarction are among the complications encountered in populations of patients with electrical injuries.
Case Presentation: Herein we present a case of acute inferolateral myocardial infarction after a high-voltage electrical injury.
Key words: Heart; Myocardial infarction; Electric injuries.
