ACLS Cardiac Arrest Algorithm:Shockable vs. Non-Shockable Rhythm Pathway · Shockable: VF/VT. Treat with immediate defibrillation. · Torsades de Pointes is a polymorphic VT. Defibrillate if pulseless. Correct underlying causes (e.g., hypomagnesemia, long QT). · Non-Shockable: PEA/Asystole. Treat with CPR, Epinephrine, and reversible causes (Hs & Ts). Cycle: 2 min CPR → Rhythm Check → Act. #TorsadesDePointes #PolymorphicVT #CardiacArrest #ACLS #ECG #VF #VT #PEA #Asystole #Resuscitation #Cardiology

Pathophysiology & Management of MI vs. Sudden Cardiac Arrest Core Distinction: · Myocardial Infarction (MI): A perfusion problem—acute coronary occlusion causing ischemia/necrosis. A clinical syndrome with conscious, perfusing patients. · Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA): An electrical problem—abrupt cessation of effective cardiac output due to a malignant arrhythmia. A state of circulatory collapse. Key Pathophysiological Link: Acute MI is a critical,reversible cause of SCA, often triggering primary
