Abstract :
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed due to cardiac arrest for return of blood circulation and oxygenation to the patient. We describe a case of successful CPR in a patient with several stages of pVT. She was a known case of end stage renal disease (ESRD) that was on hemodialysis. Advanced cardiac life support performed for her and after emergency hemodialysis. After that, she awoke with stable hemodynamics. Echocardiography revealed a moderate to severe MR and LVEF% of 40. The patient continued hemodialysis for 3 times a week and referred to cardiologist for further examination and angiography.
