title: [Prolonged cardiologic and neurologic complications following electric shock].
abstract: Long-term cardiological and neurological observations of 8 patients struck with electric current are presented. It was found that electric shock causes chronic myocardiac lesions followed by the coronary heart disease, cardiac insufficiency and arrhythmia, occuring mostly as premature ventricular extrasystoles. In most of affected persons, symptoms of distonia vegetativa were present during several years. EEG changes and Marinesco-Radovici symptom suggest that in some cases the observed vegetative symptoms can depend on organic changes in the central nervous system.
