Figures & Tables

Figure 1

12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) after successful resuscitation showing sinus rhythm and old inferior infarct (similar to old ECGs).

Figure 2

Coronary angiography. Panel A: The left anterior descending artery (LAD) showing permeable proximal stent and no other significant stenosis; Panel B: Right coronary artery (RCA) with proximal plaque with no angiographic significance; Panel C: Left circumflex artery (LCX) with no lesions.

Figure 3

Chest x-ray that shows right lower lobe condensation opacity, without aerial bronchogram suggestive of pulmonary infarct.

Figure 4

Contrast pulmonary CT scan. Panel A: multiple bilateral thrombi in segmental and subsegmental pulmonary arteries; Panel B: alveolar and interstitial densification areas localized in the lower inferior right lobe – probably pulmonary infarcts.
