ABSTRACT

The heart is one of the most affected organs during electric injuries. In electrical injuries, mechanical complications such as myocardial rupture, valvular rupture, pericardial effusion as well as a variety of arrhythmias ranging from electrocardiographic changes to ventricular fibrillation may occur. In this paper, we have presented a female patient with twin pregnancy at the 26th week of gestation, in whom syncope due to electric shock occurred and atrial fibril- lation was detected on admission to the emergency department and have discussed treatment methods.
