Sex-related disparities in obstructive coronary artery disease, percutaneous coronary intervention, and mortality in adults with cardiac arrest.

Objectives: Despite numerous advances in the delivery of resuscitative care, cardiac arrest (CA) continues to be associated with high morbidity and mortality. We sought to examine the association between sex and presence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and mortality in adults with CA.

Methods: The study population included 208 consecutive patients hospitalized with CA who underwent resuscitation and subsequent coronary angiogram at an academic tertiary medical center.

Predictors of Obstructive Coronary Disease and Mortality in Adults Having Cardiac Arrest.

Coronary angiography is a key component of systematic, multi-disciplinary post-cardiac arrest (CA) care, however, coronary angiogram is not routinely performed in the setting of CA. We sought to identify the predictors of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and mortality in adults with CA undergoing coronary angiogram. The study population included 208 consecutive patients hospitalized with CA who underwent resuscitation and subsequent coronary angiogram at an academic tertiary medical center.
