Abstract

Treatment strategy of people who experienced an Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest without a ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is still a matter of debate. Recent randomized trials and a meta-analysis comparing early. Against delayed coronary angiography in these patients did not find any improvement in short-term survival with the immediate approach strategy. Further studies are ongoing, whose results will help clarify the correct management of these OHCA-non STEMI patients.
