Nine factors associated with risk of cardiac arrest after STEMI in new analysis
In-hospital cardiac arrest occurred in 2.2% of patients hospitalized for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and was less likely in those who received beta-blockers, ticagrelor, or primary percutaneous coronary intervention, an observational Chinese study found.

Better outcomes after IHCA with lidocaine than amiodarone, study finds
In patients with ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) refractory to CPR and defibrillation, use of lidocaine was associated with better 90-day survival and neurological function than amiodarone, according to the retrospective cohort study.

Expedited, repeated shocks, without prolonged compressions, had best outcomes for inpatient VF/VT arrest
The results of this study support the theory that the changing energy status of the heart in the minutes after arrest affects the success of shocks versus chest compressions, the authors noted.
