Abstract

OBJECTIVES: We sought to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

METHODS: We analyzed the outcomes of 88 consecutive patients presenting with MI complicated by OHCA compared to 5101 patients with MI without OHCA who underwent PCI from the Melbourne Interventional Group registry between 2004 and 2009. RESULTS: Patients with OHCA had a higher proportion of ST-elevation MI presentations (90.9% vs. 50%, p
