Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

A cardiac arrest is not a surprise in coma patients. Unfortunately, it is not a good sign of recovery. For this reason, it is necessary a close monitoring of her situation in the ICU unit.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
