Pre-percutaneous coronary intervention sudden cardiac arrest in ST-elevation myocardial infarction: Incidence, predictors, and related outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a frequent cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with increased survival. Despite constant improvements in SCA management, survival remains poor. We aimed to assess pre-PCI SCA incidence and related outcomes in patients admitted with STEMI.

Methods

This was a prospective cohort study of patients admitted with STEMI in a tertiary university hospital over 11  years. All patients were submitted to emergency coronary angiography. Baseline characteristics, details of the procedure, reperfusion strategies, and adverse outcomes were assessed. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcome was 1-year mortality after hospital discharge
