Hansen SM, et al. – This research ascertained if electric shock patients were at a greater risk of developing cardiac disease, cardiac arrhythmias or death compared to the general Danish population. The findings did not illustrate an increase in mortality among patients seen at hospitals after accidental electric shock compared with a background population. Cardiac procedures and diseases following electric shock were found to be very rare. Nearly all patients could be discharged safely from the emergency room after electric shock without additional monitoring.
