Use this scenаriо tо аnswer the next 5 questiоns:A 45-yeаr-old man had coronary artery stents placed 2 days ago. Today, he is in severe distress and is reporting "crushing" chest discomfort. He is pale, diaphoretic, and cool to the touch. His radial pulse is very weak, blood pressure is 64/40 mm Hg, respiratory rate is 28 breaths per minute, and oxygen saturation is 89% on room air. When applied, the cardiac monitor initially showed ventricular tachycardia, which then quickly changed to ventricular fibrillation.On the basis of this patient's initial presentation, which condition do you suspect led to the cardiac arrest?
