Exercise related versus non exercise related out of hospital cardiac arrest - A retrospective single-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physical activity prevents cardiovascular disease, but it may also trigger acute cardiac events like sudden cardiac death in patients with underlying heart disease. The chance of surviving an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains low, despite improving medical treatment and rescue chain. Prior studies signaled increased survival in exercise related out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences between exercise related out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest during daily activity in an urban setting.

Methods

Retrospective analysis of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests from 2014 to 2021 treated at a cardiac arrest center of a tertiary hospital. The primary outcome was survival to di
