When left untreated, arrhythmias may significantly increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest. With unmatched accuracy, we can tailor treatments to each patient's unique anatomy, enhancing safety and efficacy.” “We

About 45 minutes after the second EKG, the patient was found in cardiac arrest. Later the next day, she went into cardiac arrest again. By the time I saw the repeat EKG, the patient was already in cardiac arrest. Prompt cath to define the anatomy should be expedited. She could not be resuscitated.

Cardiac Arrest or Sudden Death: Cardiomegaly increases the risk of life-threatening arrhythmias, which can cause sudden cardiac arrest. Blood Clots: An enlarged heart is more prone to developing blood clots, which can lead to stroke or pulmonary embolism.

Subendocardial Ischemia from another Cause ( ie, sustained tachyarrhythmia; cardiac arrest; shock or profound hypotension; GI bleeding; anemia; "sick patient" , etc. ). Given this situation — the anatomy needs to be defined to determine if acute reperfusion with PCI will be needed to prevent imminent coronary occlusion. =

Expert ECG interpretation could have prevented this man's cardiac arrest, and almost certainly would have resulted in a much smaller MI and therefore better long term prognosis. because if it does, then urgent cath to define the anatomy is clearly indicated. Somewhere along the way the initial ECG was misinterpreted.

The best course is to wait until the anatomy is defined by angio, then if proceeding to PCI, add Cangrelor (an IV P2Y12 inhibitor) I sent the ECG and clinical information of a 90-year old with chest pain to Dr. McLaren. Thirty-six patients (36%) presented with cardiac arrest, and 78% (28/36) underwent emergent angiography.
