Recurrent syncope due to systemic mastocytosis.

A 59-year-old white woman, B. L., had been plagued by recurrent episodes of flushing, weakness, and dizziness that at times led to frank syncope. She had been well until December, 1974, when she experienced her first attack. This episode was characterized by the sudden onset of headache and fatigue followed by severe flushing (particularly of the face and neck), weakness of the legs, a feeling ...

Tissue plasminogen activator in cardiac arrest with pulseless electrical activity.

BACKGROUND Coronary thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism are common causes of cardiac arrest. We assessed whether the administration of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation would benefit patients with cardiac arrest and pulseless electrical activity of unknown or presumed cardiovascular cause. METHODS Patients who were older than 16 years of age and who...
