Smith comment: The patient was lucky to have a cardiac arrest. By undergoing an arrest, providers became aware of his OMI which had not been noticed on his diagnostic ECG, and he thus has a chance at some myocardial salvage. Had he not had one, he would have sat in the waiting room until his entire myocardium at risk infarcted.
