Abstract

Cardiac manifestations are the effects of an electrical injury that could be life-threatening. Although it is rare, arrhythmias and myocardial tissue injuries are the two major cardiac complications that can happen after electrical injury. Lack of recommendation and review makes it confusing to physicians in managing electrical injury patients with cardiovascular complications. This article provides an overview of electrical injuries, the cardiac manifestations that can occur, and management of electrical injuries that focus on cardiac effects.
