In OHCA patients, acute coronary occlusion was associated with higher risk of cardiovascular-related death
Among patients with non-ST elevation out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), 1 in 5 were found to have acute coronary occlusion – shown to be a significant predictor of cardiovascular mortality – with no significant difference in the occurrence of acute coronary occlusion between hemodynamically stable and unstable patients, according to a new single-center study.
