Abstract:
Dermatitis resulting from medical devices is common. The dermatologic hazards of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, cardiac pacemakers, and electrocardiography electrodes are well described. We report a 70-year-old man who experienced contact dermatitis from direct current cardioversion. To our knowledge, this is the first report of cardioversion-associated dermatitis.
