The case report presents a patient with a history of chronic watery diarrhoea, which was present five months before the cardiac arrest. Her health history suggested she experienced lymphocytic colitis, and the physicians administered budesonide. The physician defibrillated the patient twice. Defibrillation involves the use of a machine that sends electric signals to the heart to help it regain its function. It is used immediately after a patient arrives at the emergency department to reduce organ damage and save an individual's life. After stabilisation, the patient was referred to the gastroenterology department. In the case presented, the patient experienced a heart attack as a result of hypokalemia.
