Cardiac Arrest in a 31-Year-Old Man With Noonan Syndrome
01/29/2019
A 31-year-old man with Noonan syndrome presented with severe postanoxic coma, but normalized ECG and stable hemodynamics. Angiography documented a giant RCA supplying collateral flow to the LCA, which presented a LM functional occlusion.
