Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest due to Coronary Spasm with Recurrent Ventricular Fibrillation by Vrijraj Sinhji Rathod, Tanmay Kanitkar, Grigoris Karamasis

“…It became clear his initial presentation was most likely due to coronary vasospasm rather than a plaque-rupture or ventricular scar-related event, and he was thus successfully treated with multiple vasodilators and an implantable cardiac defibrillator. This case report highlights how conventional imaging modalities may not always lead to a diagnosis.…”

Early amiodarone or lidocaine administration during in-hospital cardiac arrest caused by shockable rhythms by Rafael C. Paganoni, Jack C. Pluenneke, Adham M. Mohamed, Charles H. Hayes, III, Carole E. Freiberger-O’Keefe, Paul S. Chan

“…Introduction: Published data investigating a time-dependent effect of initiation of antiarrhythmic therapy for shockable in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is lacking. We aimed to evaluate the association between time of intravenous amiodarone or lidocaine administration and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients with IHCA caused by ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (pVT). …”
