ABSTRACT
Electrical injuries are not uncommon, and electrical shock-induced cardiac damage can be life-threatening. We present the case of a young patient who suffered from acute myocardial damage due to an occupational electric shock. Myocardial damage was assessed by very early (day 4) and repeated (up to month 18) MRI. Clinical management and patient risk estimation in such a setting are challenging because data on similar non-lethal cases and practice recommendations are scarce in the literature.
