Patient with Heart Transplant has ventricular fibrillation arrest -- resuscitated

 2635859


A middle-aged male

Immediate post-resuscitation.



We were aware that ST Elevation can be a result of the low flow state in cardiac arrest, and resolve with time, but we activated the cath lab.


The interventionalist stated that a transplanted heart does not have coronary disease.


A chart review however, revealed the the patient had had an acute distal LAD occlusion one month prior.
