Abstract
We report an unusual case of a 75-year-old male electrocuted by lightning strike rescued by implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shock coincidentally. Lightning strikes are an unusual cause of fatal cardiac arrhythmias. Depending on the amount of energy and the current vector affecting the heart, the arrhythmia burden ranges from asystole to ventricular fibrillation.
摘要
我们报告了一例不同寻常的病例，一名75岁男性被雷击触电，巧合的是被植入式心脏复律除颤器（ICD）电击抢救过来。雷击是导致致命性心律失常的罕见原因。根据影响心脏的能量大小和电流方向，心律失常的严重程度从心脏停搏到心室颤动不等。
