Reversibility of Sinus Bradycardia-Induced Syncope Resulting From Low-Voltage Electrical Injury: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

Electric shocks pose a serious threat to public health. The heart is among the organs that are most commonly impacted. Electrical harm can cause a number of potentially fatal heart conditions, including asystole, ventricular fibrillation, and myocardial rupture. Some patients had sinus bradycardia diagnosed at the time of admission. In this case report, we describe a 43-year-old male patient who had an electrical injury that resulted in syncope and sinus bradycardia. After 24 hours of cardiac monitoring, the patient was found to not require a pacemaker. This suggests that patients with symptomatic sinus bradycardia should have cardiac monitoring. If, after 24 hours, cardiac monitoring revealed no new episodes of sinus bradycardia and the patient remained asymptomatic, the patient is unlikely to require a pacemaker. There are differing guidelines and suggestions regarding the supervision of patients following electrical damage, and further study in this area is necessary to enable the unification of guidelines.
