Abstract

Rhythm disorders (transmission problems, tachycardia and arrhythmia) related to electric shock are frequently seen. One of these arrhythmias is atrial fibrillation (AF). A case of atrial fibrillation that occurred due to electric shock and returned to normal sinus rhythm following medical cardiovascular intervention is presented in this paper

Özet

Elektrik çarpmasına bağlı ritim bozuklukları ile (iletim sorunları, taşikardi, aritmi) sık karşılaşılır. Bu ritim bozukluklarından birisi de atriyal fibrilasyondur (AF). Bu yazıda elektrik çarpması sonrası oluşan ve medikal kardiyoversiyon sonrası normal sinüs ritmine dönen bir atriyal fibrilasyon olgusu sunulmuştur.
