Description
Summary:Abstract only Background: We characterized adverse events and outcomes among cardiac arrest (CA) survivors treated between 2007-2011 at six regional interventional cardiology (PCI) centers in the United States. Methods: Demographics, clinical features, adverse events, cardiovascular outcomes, and 6-month neurological outcomes of 663 sequential patients were retrospectively and prospectively entered into a secure, web-based registry (INTCAR). The overall survival of patients with VT/VF and PEA/asystole was calculated, and an expected “survival index” for each center developed Results: Patients were characterized as mean 61.3 (+14.9) years old, 69.2% male, 58.8% initial VT/VF, 23.5 (+16.3) minutes “downtime”. On admission, 31.1% had shock, 26% STEMI, 38.6% underwent urgent coronary angiography, and 20.2% urgent PCI. Moderate or severe left ventricular dysfunction was present in 63% patients on presentation and 49.5% at hospital discharge (P
