Abstract
We present the case of a young man who suffered severe anteroapical my ocardial necrosis caused by electrocution, In addition to the enzymati c and electrocardiographic changes suggesting necrosis, a clear positi ve segmental image on Tc-99m-pyrophosphate scintigraphy and a detect o n a Tl-201 SPECT scan at rest were also found, Although these tests we re indicative of extensive anteroapical transmural myocardial necrosis , the echocardiographic study only revealed mild anteroapical hypokine sia.
