A 45yo man had coronary artery stents placed 2 days ago. Today,he is in severe distress and
reporting "crushing" chest discomfort. He is pale, diaphoretic, and cool to the touch. His
radial pulse is very weak, blood pressure is 64/40 mmHg, respiratory rate is 28 breaths/min,
and O2 sat is 89% on room air. When applied, the cardiac monitor initially showed
ventricular tachycardia, which then quickly changed to ventricular fibrillation. Based on this
patient's initial presentation, which condition do you suspect led to the cardiac arrest? -
Answer✅
Acute coronary syndrome
