Ventricular Fibrillation Cardiac Arrest With Endocarditis During Pregnancy
A 34-year-old pregnant woman collapsed at home without preceding symptoms. Following bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ventricular fibrillation was documented and successfully reverted with an external shock. The electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm, right bundle branch block, ST-segment depression, and T-wave inversion in anterior leads. She was then brought to the hospital for emergency management.
