An Elusive Diagnosis Following Cardiac Arrest

Abstract

A 49 year old female was admitted following ventricular fibrillation associated cardiac arrest with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) with advanced cardiac life support. Past medical and surgical history was notable for bilateral cataract removals over the preceding year. Family history was non-contributory. Workup for the arrest was unremarkable including computed tomography (CT) of the pulmonary arteries, left heart catheterization, and ventriculography.
