Resuscitation Oct 10, 2019
Barbarawi M, Zayed Y, Kheiri B, et al. - In this meta-analysis involving 3,702 patients (mean age was 63.8 ± 12.8 years), researchers assessed the influence of immediate, delayed, and no coronary angiography (CAG) in patients with cardiac arrest and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Findings suggested an association of CAG with a higher rate of survival and favorable neurological outcomes vs no CAG among patients who survived cardiac arrest with an NSTEMI. No significant differences were found between immediate or delayed CAG regarding long-term mortality, short-term mortality, or favorable Cerebral Performance Category score.
