*[[Asystole]]: In [[asystole]], there is cessation of any cardiac activity and lack of cardiac output on this basis.  In PEA, electrical activity is present.
*[[Ventricular fibrillation]]: There is no organized electrical activity present.  There are only fine fibrillatory waves present in ventricular fibrillation. In PEA, there is organized electrical activity.
*[[Peripheral arterial disease]]: The inability to feel a peripheral pulse may be due to severe [[peripheral arterial disease]].
