Abstract
A patient in his mid-60s underwent bilateral orthotopic lung transplant and is later hospitalized for sepsis from pneumonia complicated by acute transplant rejection, without any cardiac symptoms. He develops severe acute respiratory distress syndrome requiring intubation and paralysis. Electrocardiography shows sudden ST-segment changes. What would you do next?
