Written by Pendell Meyers A man in his 50s was found by his family in cardiac arrest of unknown duration. His family started CPR and called EMS, who arrived to find him in ventricular fibrillation. 15 minutes after EMS arrival, after at least 6 defibrillations, the patient achieved sustained ROSC.

About 45 minutes after the second EKG, the patient was found in cardiac arrest. A temporary pacemaker was implanted, and she was admitted to the ICU with cardiogenic shock. Later the next day, she went into cardiac arrest again. By the time I saw the repeat EKG, the patient was already in cardiac arrest.

The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. LAD — 100% proximal occlusion; with 70-89% mid-vessel narrowing. LCx — 50-69% stenosis of the 1st marginal branch; with 100% distal LCx occlusion. RCA — 100% proximal occlussion.

But the lack of traditional Sgarbossa criteria is not reassuring enough for such high pretest probability (elderly patient with chest pain, out of hospital cardiac arrest and LBBB), and the Modified Sgarbossa Criteria confirms Occlusion MI in this case. But by this time the patient went into cardiogenic shock and passed away.

The patient died of cardiogenic shock within 24 hours despite mechanical circulatory support. Smith: This bizarre ECG looks like a post cardiac arrest ECG with probable acidosis or hyperkalemia in addition to OMI. This patient at cath had a large CX occlusion with a massive troponin release.

About an hour later, he was then found on the floor in cardiac arrest in the ED. He underwent CPR and then was shocked out of VF. He was in cardiogenic shock requiring an impella for several days after cath. His initial troponin T was 15 ng/L (only two hours since pain onset). No further troponins were measured.
