| Popis: | Heart injury due to electric shock is currently diagnosed based on electrocardiogram (ECG) changes or elevated levels of myocardial enzymes or both. However, the rate at which ECG detects abnormalities is very low; thus, the estimated rate of the diagnosis of myocardial damage due to electric shock is lower than the actual rate. The method of nuclear medicine study of the heart is superior with regard to evaluating transient ischemia, such as angina pectoris, in patients whose ECG and myocardial enzyme levels are normal. Therefore, we attempted to diagnose transient myocardial damage in electric shock patients by using nuclear medicine study of the heart. |
