Case Report: Extended cardiopulmonary resuscitation in sudden cardiac arrest after acute myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) mostly occurs in crowded public places outside hospitals, such as public sports facilities, airports, railway stations, subway stations, and shopping malls. ECMO support therapy for patients with cardiac arrest can be considered when economic conditions permit.

Hemodynamic Characteristics and Prognostic Implication of Modified Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions Shock Classification in Comatose Patients With Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundCardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction is associated with a high mortality rate. Cardiogenic shock after outofhospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) can be due to transient myocardial stunning but also reflect the increasing severity of ongoing heart failure.

Early Utilization of Mechanical Circulatory Support in Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock: The National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundAcute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI‐CS) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Patients presented with a mean systolic blood pressure of 77.2±19.2 mm Hg, mmol/L and cardiac power output was 0.67±0.29 watts. mmol/L and cardiac power output was 0.67±0.29 watts.

Understanding the Difference Between Heart Attack and Cardiac Arrest

MIBHS

When discussing heart health, heart attacks and cardiac arrest are two terms that are often mistaken for one another. Understanding the difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest can help in recognizing symptoms, seeking prompt medical care, and even saving lives. What is Cardiac Arrest?

Middle Aged Woman with Asystolic Cardiac Arrest, Resuscitated: Cath Lab?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

What is the utility of a head CT in cardiac arrest? We found intracranial hemorrhage in 2% of non-traumatic cardiac arrest patients, and in 4 others the presence of cerebral edema changed management. in Vienna found that 27 of 765 (4%) of out of hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) were due to SAH.

Does Stress Cause Heart Disease?

Dr. Paddy Barrett

If you take someone who has multiple risk factors for heart disease, including diabetes, smoking, abnormal cholesterol and high blood pressure, they have a 42 times higher risk of a heart attack compared to someone who does not have any of these factors. That event might have been a heart rhythm issue or even a cardiac arrest.

Machine-learning based risk prediction of in-hospital outcomes following STEMI: the STEMI-ML score

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The included variables were age, pre-hospital cardiac arrest, robust collateral recruitment (Rentrop grade 2 or 3), family history of coronary disease, initial systolic blood pressure, initial heart rate, hypercholesterolemia, culprit vessel, smoking status and TIMI flow pre-PCI. for in-hospital mortality, 0.78
