Cardiac arrest is always deadly without treatment. Without prompt CPR, people cannot survive a cardiac arrest. An estimated 60-80% of people who experience a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital succumb to their condition. That's why giving CPR and using an AED as soon as possible is esse...

Sudden cardiac arrest is not a disease, per se, but a syndrome having multiple causes. Sudden cardiac arrest/death is also not synonymous with acute myocardial infarction (MI; “heart attack”). The latter is responsible for a minority of cases of sudden death. Most individuals with unexpected...

The mortality rate of patients with post-myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal defects (VSDs) is high, and the benefit of surgery is unclear. We aimed to investigate the management and outcomes of post-MI VSD over...

Eighty-five percent of 112 patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) underwent coronary angiography, revealing myocardial infarction (MI) type 1 with atherothrombotic vessel obstruction in 70 patients (63% of all OHCA patients, 74% of OHCA patients undergoing coronary angiography). Sixty-...
Additionally, when looking only at major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a CCTA-guided strategy was also superior (2% vs 5%, p=0.04), predominantly driven by higher rates of myocardial infarction in the standard care cohort. CCTA was also compared to high-sensitivity troponin assays (hs-...
