The Creation

SummaryAnalysis of electrocardiograms tape-recorded from patients admitted to hospital with acute myocardial infarction revealed that the pattern of ventricular extrasystolic activity was not significantly different among those who subsequently developed ventricular fibrillation and those who did not. Episodes of ventricular fibrillation occurred predominantly within 4 hours from the start of infarction. Patients were 3 times less likely to survive an episode of ventricular fibrillation if they also had left ventricular failure than if this feature was absent. Management of episodes of ventricular fibrillation was compared in patients before and after the creation of a specially staffed and equipped coronary care unit. The success of electric shock as a treatment for ventricular fibrillation was similar before and after the creation of the coronary care unit. An attempt was made to determine which features in the management of ventricular fibrillation in this and in previously published series were associated with patient survival.

Increased Risk

Hyperthyroidism represents a state of hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis, which predisposes an individual to the increased risk of thromboembolism. We present a case of a 25-year-old patient presenting with an acute myocardial infarction secondary to plaque rupture with thrombotic occlusion of proximal left anterior descending artery, in a patient known to have Graves’ disease. She had a sudden ventricular fibrillation arrest and a precordial thump given and cardiopulmonary resuscitation started. She successfully underwent cardiac catheterisation. Subsequent thyroid function tests showed she was in active thyrotoxicosis.
