Dr. Amal Mattu, a leading expert in acute care medicine and cardiology from the University of Maryland, shares invaluable insights on post-arrest ECG interpretation. He emphasizes the dangers of misreading early ECGs, particularly the risks associated with VTach mimics. Listeners will learn when to repeat ECGs and when to refer patients for catheterization.
