Myocardial necrosis by electrocution: evaluation of noninvasive methods.
    Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine, 1997, Volume: 38, Issue:2

    We present the case of a young man who suffered severe anteroapical myocardial necrosis caused by electrocution. In addition to the enzymatic and electrocardiographic changes suggesting necrosis, a clear positive segmental image on 99mTc-pyrophosphate scintigraphy and a defect on a 201Tl SPECT scan at rest were also found. Although these tests were indicative of extensive anteroapical transmural myocardial necrosis, the echocardiographic study only revealed mild anteroapical hypokinesia.
