Summary:The results of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are not very satisfactory in the best health care centers of the world, with a very low percentage of survival. Currently, this topic represents a challenge for practicing doctors; while it is an unresolved subject for others. The case of a patient with sudden death, caused by an extensive acute anterior myocardial infarction, who was assisted and recovered by the family doctor and specialists from the Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery Institute, is presented in this article. Los resultados de la reanimación cardiopul-monar en el paro cardíaco extrahospitalario son poco satisfactorios en los mejores centros asistenciales del mundo, con un porcentaje de supervivientes muy bajo. El tema constituye en la actualidad un desafío para los médicos de asistencia; para otros, una asignatura pendien-te. En este artículo presentamos el caso de una paciente con muerte súbita, producida por un infarto agudo de miocardio anterior extenso, asistida y recuperada por su médico de familia y por especialistas del Instituto de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular.
