PY - 2020 T2 - Cardiac Arrhythmias: Interpretation, Diagnosis, and Treatment, 2e AB - In 1956, Claude Beck and colleagues described a case with resuscitation from out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).1-3 The patient, a practicing physician, had long suffered from what he had self-diagnosed as indigestion. He experienced a persistent episode, went to the hospital and was diagnosed with posterolateral myocardial infarction (MI). Given the absence of treatment at that time, he was discharged, but he collapsed just outside the hospital and was retrieved. He underwent thoracotomy, open cardiac massage, then internal defibrillation and recovered.
