When discussing heart health, heart attacks and cardiac arrest are two terms that are often mistaken for one another. Understanding the difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest can help in recognizing symptoms, seeking prompt medical care, and even saving lives. What is Cardiac Arrest?

While on telemetry monitoring he suffered cardiac arrest and was resuscitated. What ECG finding may have contributed to (or precipitated) the cardiac arrest? A coronary angiogram was done that did not show significant coronary artery disease. There are no clear signs of OMI.

Heart Valve Disease If one or more heart valves are not functioning correctly, it can cause blood to flow backward, putting extra pressure on the heart, which may cause it to expand to compensate for the inefficiency. This may result in ischemia (lack of oxygen to the heart muscle), causing parts of the heart to weaken and enlarge.

Introduction The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) has emerged as a treatment option for selected patients who are experiencing refractory cardiac arrest (CA). Results Out of the 377 patients included in the study, 69 (21%) were female.

However, he suddenly developed a series of malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Below are printouts of some of the arrhythmias recorded. This time, the arrhythmia did not spontaneously terminate — but rather degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation. The arrhythmia starts with a PVC having a short coupling interval.

Arrhythmia In simple words, arrhythmia refers to an irregular heartbeat. Cardiac arrest Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency in which the heart stops pumping blood to the body. Electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and some other tests are done for patients with cardiac arrest.

The ST segment changes are compatible with severe subendocardial ischemia which can be caused by type I MI from ACS or potentially from type II MI (non-obstructive coronary artery disease with supply/demand mismatch). The arrhythmia spontaneously converted before defibrillation was achieved.
