Introduction The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in selected patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is an established method if return of spontaneous circulation cannot be achieved.

A 20-something presented after a huge verapamil overdose in cardiogenic shock. Today's patient is a young male who presented in cardiogenic shock following a massive verapamil overdose. It's always rewarding and mutually educational to discuss interesting aspects of arrhythmia interpretation. The initial K was 3.0

Figure B At this point, with the ECG changing from diffuse ST depression to widespread ST elevation and the patient presenting in cardiogenic shock, left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion is the likely diagnosis. The arrhythmia spontaneously converted before defibrillation was achieved. This is an ominous sign. As per Dr.

SMuRF-less patients were more likely to present with cardiac arrest (6.6% vs 50.8%, p<0.001) and were more likely to experience postprocedural cardiogenic shock (4.5% vs 3.6%, p=0.019) and arrhythmia (11.2% vs 25.4%, p<0.001). vs 3.9%, p<0.001) and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (59.1%

Some patients have baseline RBBB with LAFB, but in patients with likely ACS, these are associated with severe infarction with cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock or impending shock. Suffice it to say that, "The heart does whatever it will do when a patient is about to arrest".

The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. However, he suddenly developed a series of malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Below are printouts of some of the arrhythmias recorded. RCA — 100% proximal occlussion. What do you think?
