This report describes for the first time (to our knowledge) persistent left ventricular dysfunction in survivors of electrical injury. Two young men who were resuscitated following electrocution by high tension wires underwent echocardiographic examination after injury. Early studies demonstrated wall motion abnormalities with no to only partial recovery on follow-up. In contrast to a previous report of totally reversible left ventricular dysfunction in a similar setting, these cases suggest that the degree of permanent dysfunction following electrical injury is variable.
据我们所知，本报告首次描述了电损伤幸存者持续存在的左心室功能障碍。两名因高压电线触电而复苏的年轻男性在受伤后接受了超声心动图检查。早期研究显示有室壁运动异常，随访时未见恢复或仅部分恢复。与之前一份关于类似情况下左心室功能障碍完全可逆的报告不同，这些病例表明电损伤后永久性功能障碍的程度是可变的。
