Accelerated Ischemic Disease Presenting as Ventricular Fibrillation
VF occurs in a significant percentage of MI patients and is often associated with coronary artery disease and acute thrombotic lesions. This case illustrates that even in the absence of structural heart disease, ischemia can trigger VF. Early identification and invasive management, such as coronary angiography and mechanical circulatory support, are critical for improving survival outcomes in these patients.
