CKD Strongest Risk Factor for Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Hispanics/Latinos
Other risk factors include heavy drinking, stroke, atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, heart failure, diabetes
HRQoL Consistently High for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Survivors
Long-term health-related quality of life consistently high up to 20 years after the event
Cardiac Arrest Survival Lower at EMS Agencies Serving Minority Populations
Difference not explained by response times, rates of EMS termination of resuscitation, or rates of initiating CPR or automated external defibrillator
Warning Symptoms May Predict Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Warning symptoms differed significantly between patients with sudden cardiac arrest and controls, but were sex-specific
Hospital COVID-19 Burden Impacted NSTEMI Treatment, Outcome
Outcomes and treatment worse for patients hospitalized during weeks with a high hospital COVID-19 burden
Survival Lower for Asian Versus White Individuals With OHCA
Despite similar rates of bystander CPR, survival to discharge and favorable neurological survival are lower for Asians
Activation of Volunteer Response System Beneficial for OHCA
Chance of bystander CPR, bystander defibrillation, 30-day survival higher with activation of volunteer response system
Frailty Tied to Worse Outcomes After Perioperative Cardiac Arrest
Findings show higher risk of mortality and nonhome discharge with increasing frailty
Athlete Awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest Low
Furthermore, only half of athletes report receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation training
Study Examines Families’ Experience of Sudden Cardiac Death
Themes include searching for answers and processing cause of death, incidental implications of SCD event
