Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Survivors Without ST-Segment Elevation had Lower Coronary Artery Stenosis in an Asian Population.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Guidelines recommend emergent coronary angiography (CAG) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients with ST-segment elevation (STE) and selective angiography for those without STE. However, real-world data reporting coronary artery status in OHCA patients without STE are scarce, especially in an Asian population. This study evaluated the coronary artery status and associated outcomes in Asian OHCA patients without STE, comparing the results with those of patients with STE.

Methods

This retrospective study enrolled 345 OHCA survivors with presumed cardiogenic cause who underwent CAG. Based on electrocardiographic evidence of STE following return of spontaneous circulation, the patients were segmented into an STE group (n = 150) and a non-STE group (<
