Prognostic Impact of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients Presenting With Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias and Aborted Cardiac Arrest.

ABSTRACT: Background The study sought to assess the prognostic impact of acute myocardial infarction ( AMI ) with and without ST -segment-elevation myocardial infarction ( STEMI and NSTEMI ) in patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest ( SCA ) on admission. Methods and Results A large retrospective registry was used including all consecutive patients presenting with ventricular tachycardia ( VT ), fibrillation ( VF ), and sudden cardiac arrest ( SCA ) on admission from 2002 to 2016. AMI versus non- AMI and STEMI versus NSTEMI were compared applying multivariable Cox regression models and propensity-score matching for evaluation of the primary prognostic end point defined as long-term all-cause mortality at 2.5 years. Secondary end points were 30 days all-cause mortality, c
