Electroconvulsive therapy can rarely cause myocardial infarction. This case highlights the need for cardiologists to understand this rare complication, its prevention, and treatment, including fibrinolytic drugs.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a psychiatric treatment.
  • Myocardial infarction (MI) is a rare but serious complication of ECT.

Observation:

  • A patient developed acute myocardial infarction (MI) following ECT.
  • Cardiologists often have limited knowledge regarding ECT-induced MI.

Findings:

  • This case reviews the incidence, physiology, and prevention of MI after ECT.
  • The use of fibrinolytic drugs in managing ECT-induced MI is discussed.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness among cardiologists about ECT-associated cardiac risks is crucial.
  • Further research may clarify optimal management strategies for this specific patient population.
