    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Lightning strike is a rare but potentially fatal event.
    • Cardiac and respiratory arrest are immediate life-threatening complications.

    Observation:

    • A 23-year-old male presented with cardiac and respiratory arrest after a lightning strike.
    • Successful resuscitation with external cardiac massage and artificial breathing was achieved.
    • Diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction was confirmed via ECG, cardiac enzymes, and thallium-201 scintigraphy.

    Findings:

    • The patient developed persistent sinus tachycardia, managed with oxprenolol.
    • No other cardiac complications were noted following the acute myocardial infarction.

    Implications:

    • Rapid resuscitative measures are vital in lightning-strike incidents.
    • Intensive care unit admission for continuous cardiac monitoring is essential.
    • Early detection and management of cardiac complications improve patient outcomes and prognosis.
