ECG Challenge: Hypotension in a Cardiomyopathy Patient

A 69-year-old woman with a history of nonischemic cardiomyopathy — treated with a beta-blocker, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and spironolactone — presents with worsening shortness of breath and hypotension. A chest x-ray demonstrates pulmonary edema, and laboratory data show acute renal insufficiency. A 12-lead ECG is obtained.
