BACKGROUND
Electrical injuries are relatively common and occur mostly at home or as a result of work accidents. Approximately 1000 deaths per year are due to electrical injuries in the United States, with a mortality rate of 3-5%1. Cardiac involvement is rare, yet poses the most serious manifestations with high mortality rate2-4. In the vast majority of cases, the symptoms occur immediately after the incident and only in rare cases delayed manifestations observed5-6. The pathogenesis isn’t fully understood but vitro studies and post mortem autopsies reveled that, in selective patients, electrocution injury progress into permanent scar with late cardiac manifestation as arrhythmia7-13.
