Patient's question:
I, Jia Xiaoxiao, accidentally got electrocuted by 220 volts and fell to the ground. At the time, the hospital examination results showed pericardial injury. Now, the illness has led to hospitalization and further tests indicate atrial premature beats. I would like to ask if this is a post-electric shock sequela?Doctor's answer:
The child experienced premature atrial contractions during the treatment for electrocution. It is possible that the premature atrial contractions were caused by myocardial damage. Premature atrial contractions are the mildest condition, and in many cases, treatment is not necessary. Moreover, the medication used to suppress frequent premature atrial contractions is quite effective. If you are still concerned, it is recommended to visit the cardiology department of the hospital for a follow-up examination, including an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and myocardial enzyme tests. After a thorough examination, symptomatic treatment should be administered.
