Coronary angiography after cardiac arrest (non-STEMI)

COACT
Objective
to report the survival rate of patients with sudden cardiac arrest who underwent immediate coronary angiography or angiography that was delayed until neurologic recovery
Study
multicentre, randomised trial
Population
patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, successfully resuscitated and without signs of STEMI
Endpoints
survival at 90 days
Conclusion
in patients successfully resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (no signs of STEMI) a strategy of immediate versus delayed angiography was not better with respect to survival at 90 days
