I suspect this is Type 2 MI due to prolonged severe hypotension from cardiac arrest. The patient's heart had significant recovery: Echo : Estimated LVEF 32%, apical wall motion abnormality with diastolic distortion (LV aneurysm), suggestive of old MI. A followup ECG was recorded 2 days later: No definite evidence of infarction.
