| Core Tip |
Coronary artery disease represents the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest. Current re-suscitation guidelines recommend emergency coronary angiography in patients with cardiac arrest and ST elevation or new left bundle branch block on post-resuscitation electrocardiogram. However, electrocardiogram findings may be a poor predictor of an acute coronary lesion in this context and nowadays, the benefit of early coronary angiography is still under debate in patients without ST elevation. In this study, we analyzed our single-center data of patients with cardiac arrest and non-diagnostic electrocardiogram to describe the burden of coronary artery disease and their prognosis depending on initial rhythm. |
