Article Synopsis
- Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is characterized by the heart's inability to pump blood outside of a hospital setting, with immediate coronary angiography (CAG) recommended for patients with ST-elevation but less clear for those without it.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the impact of early CAG on mortality and neurological outcomes in OHCA patients without ST-elevation, analyzing data from 18 selected studies.
- The findings indicated that early CAG did not significantly improve survival or neurological recovery when compared to delayed CAG for this group of patients.
