Question

The child accidentally received a shock from 220 volts, resulting in pericardial injury, and is currently hospitalized for examination. It was found that there are atrial premature contractions. The parents are asking whether this is a post-shock sequela.

Answer

The child experienced atrial premature contractions after shock treatment, which could be caused by myocardial injury. Frequent premature beats can usually be effectively controlled with medication. If there are concerns, it is recommended to consult a cardiologist for further examination, including an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and myocardial enzyme tests, to confirm the diagnosis and receive symptomatic treatment.
