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.

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:There is no specific treatment for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) manifesting as pulseless electric activity (PEA) and survival rates are low; unlike ventricular fibrillation (VF), which is treatable by defibrillation.

A 60-something woman presented after a witnessed cardiac arrest. This is commonly found after epinephrine for cardiac arrest, but could have been pre-existing and a possible contributing factor to cardiac arrest. Final Diagnosis: Cardiac Arrest due to Torsades from long QT of unknown etiology.

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.

We aimed to investigate the prevalence and outcomes of patients with SMuRF-less ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with those with SMuRFs. Patients with coronary artery disease were excluded. SMuRF-less patients were more likely to present with cardiac arrest (6.6%
