ST-Segment Elevation in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Survivors Not Always Related to Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease

ST-segment elevation with patent coronary arteries is reported in 3 to 4% of cases of myocardial infarction outside OHCA. The incidence of MINOCA in OHCA patients, and relevant patient characteristics related to this association are not currently known, as such data have not been previously published. In some centers, therapeutic hypothermia is routinely delayed after percutaneous coronary intervention, leading to delays in achieving optimal body temperature required for brain preserving. Avoiding unnecessary procedures could benefit both the patient and caregivers involved.
