Abstract
Scenario: A 72-year-old female who had quadruple coronary artery bypass surgery 1 year earlier suddenly awoke at home with nausea and felt her heart racing. She took a nitroglycerine tablet because she thought she was having “heart problems,” then suddenly she felt faint. She called 911. Following is the 12-lead ECG obtained in the ambulance. The patient’s blood pressure was 70/40 mm Hg. A regular feature of the American Journal of Critical Care, the ECG Puzzler addresses electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation for clinical practice.
