Survival and Neurologic Outcome After Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest. Results of the Andalusian Out-of-hospital Cardiopulmonary Arrest Registry.

Introduction And Objectives: There is a paucity of data on prehospital cardiac arrest in Spain. Our aim was to describe the incidence, patient characteristics, and outcomes of out-of-hospital emergency care for this event.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of a prospective registry of cardiopulmonary arrest handled by an out-of-hospital emergency service between January 2008 and December 2012.

New insights into the circadian rhythm of acute myocardial infarction in subgroups.

The aim of this study was to determine the existence of the circadian rhythm (CR) in the onset of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in different patient subgroups. Information was collected about 41,244 infarctions from the database of the ARIAM (Analysis of Delay in AMI) Spanish multicenter study. CR in AMI were explored in subgroups of cases categorized by age, gender, previous ischemic heart disease (PIHD), outcome in coronary care unit, infarction electrocardiograph (ECG) characteristics (Q wave or non-Q wave), and location of AMI.

[Differential circadian rhythms in myocardial infarction according to its extent by electrocardiogram].

Background And Objective: To determine the existence of circadian rhythm in the time of onset of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) according to their extension type (Q-wave vs. non-Q-wave).

Patients And Method: We studied a retrospective cohort of patients from a multicentre study of myocardial infarction (ARIAM study group).
