I suspect this is Type 2 MI due to prolonged severe hypotension from cardiac arrest. The ways to tell for certain include intravascular ultrasound (to look for extra-luminal plaque with rupture) or "optical coherence tomography," something I am entirely unfamiliar with. A list of conditions that can cause this is below.

On arrival, the patient was in shock, was intubated, and had an immediate cardiac ultrasound. What does a heart look like on ultrasound when the EKG looks like that? Here you go: It's not the world's greatest cardiac ultrasound video, but it does appear to show poor function and low volume. How would you treat?

This case was provided by Spencer Schwartz, an outstanding paramedic at Hennepin EMS who is on Hennepin EMS's specialized "P3" team, a team that receives extra training in advanced procedures such as RSI, thoracostomy, vasopressors, and prehospital ultrasound. She was defibrillated and resuscitated. ng/mL [IQR: 0.46, 2.35].

Aslanger added in the limitations in his article: " Theoretically, an isolated basal inferoseptal infarction or an acute inferior MI in the presence of previous infarctions that may change the orientation of lesion vector can also cause a similar picture.

A bedside cardiac ultrasound was normal, with no effusion. 4 Unfortunately, this article provides no electrocardiographic, echo, or angiographic data, so it is not certain that these high levels were in the absence of acute MI. He had the following EKG recorded: Low voltage, suggests effusion.
