Acute myocardial infarction due to accidental electrocution — A case report of a 26-year-old African male patient.

We report a case of fatal myocardial infarction (MI) after electrocution in a 26-year-old male patient without cardiovascular risk factors. The patient was admitted to the Emergency Department of the University Clinics of Lubumbashi for management of accidental electrocution on a high-voltage power line. The admission ECG showed lesions consistent with myocardial infarction. Despite treatment, the patient died 30 minutes after admission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
