Abstract: To the Editor:Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) of cardiac origin is one of the leading causes of death in the industrialized world.The American Heart Association recommended patients who have been successfully resuscitated from OHCA and whose initial electrocardiogram (ECG) showing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) should undergo emergent cardiac catheterization with the intent to identify and revascularize the culprit lesion by percutaneous intervention (PCI) when clinically applicable.
