ST depression is common BOTH after resuscitation from cardiac arrest and during atrial fib with RVR. Again, it is common to have an ECG that shows apparent subendocardial ischemia after resuscitation from cardiac arrest, after defibrillation, and after cardioversion. The patient was cardioverted. This was done.

This ECG is diagnostic of diffuse subendocardial ischemia. What is the utility of a head CT in cardiac arrest? We studied this and published the abstract below in 2010. We found intracranial hemorrhage in 2% of non-traumatic cardiac arrest patients, and in 4 others the presence of cerebral edema changed management.
