years and was admitted after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation.

What are treatment options for this rhythm, when all else fails?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Angiography : LMCA — 90-99% osteal stenosis. LCx — 50-69% stenosis of the 1st marginal branch; with 100% distal LCx occlusion. Cardiac function is poor, with akinesis of the LAD territory. Cath findings shown above in Dr. Nossen's discussion confirm multi-vessel disease , including 90-99% osteal stenosis of the LMCA.
