FIGURE 1 Electrocardiogram obtained on patient's arrival at our emergency department reveals atrial fibrillation with a junctional rhythm and ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF with reciprocal depression in leads I, aVL, and V2-V6, suggestive of inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

FIGURE 3 Electrocardiogram obtained after ventricular fibrillation, return of spontaneous circulation, and return from the computed tomographic scanner reveals a junctional rhythm with no evidence of atrial activity. The ST-segment elevation in leads III and aVF with reciprocal depression in leads I, aVL, and V2-V6 is more pronounced.
