ABSTRACT

Objective:

Ischemic heart disease is the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest (CA), which remains a serious public health problem worldwide. Guidelines include recommendations for the timing of coronary angiography (CAG) in successfully resuscitated CA patients based on electrocardiogram (ECG), pre-arrest complaint and clinical risk for ischemia. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze CA patients who were successfully resuscitated and underwent CAG.

Material and Methods:

The study included patients who were successfully resuscitated and underwent CAG between 01.01.2019-01.01.2022. In-hospital (IHCA) and out-of-hospital CA (OHCA) status, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) duration, ECGs after CPR, diagnoses, angiographic findings, infarct-related artery in case of occlusion, and mortality rates were evaluated.

Results:

The study included 130 patients. The mortality rate was 66.2%. There was no significant difference in mortality between IHCA and OHCA (p=0.327). Mortality was higher in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients (p=0.020). It was found that CPR duration of ≥12.5 minutes could be used to predict mortality.

Conclusions:

In ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients presenting with CA, early and successful intervention had favorable effects on mortality. Patients with a CPR duration of less than 12.5 minutes had a higher chance of survival.
