Electrocardiographic manifestations following household electric current injury.
Electrocardiographic monitoring of a 24 year old male, who sustained household electric current injury, showed low voltage ECG complexes, varying degrees of atrioventricular (AV) blocks, and ventricular fibrillation. The low voltage ECG complexes and varying AV blocks disappeared spontaneously and ventricular fibrillation reverted to normal after cardioversion.
