Abstract
The lightning is an important natural event, characterized with direct current. With its high energy and the resulting increase in the temperature can lead to serious hazards. Lightning can lead to many important clinical events as skin burns, multiple organ damage, cardiac conduction disorders and also death. In this presentation, a case of acute atrial fibrillation due to lightning strike was reported

Abstract
Önemli bir doğa olayı olan yıldırım, direk akım özelliğindedir. Sahip olduğu yüksek enerji ve oluşan ısı artışı ciddi tehlikelere yol açabilir. Yıldırım çarpması ciltte yanıklar, çoklu organ hasarları, kardiyak ileti bozuklukları ve hatta ölüm gibi pek çok önemli klinik olaya yol açabilir. Sunumumuzda, yıldırım çarpması sonucu akut atriyal fibrilasyon tespit edilen bir olgu sunuldu
