Hypothermia and its role in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest

Patients suffering cardiac arrest resulting from ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at very high risk of death. In addition to reperfusion strategies, therapeutic hypothermia is recommended for cardiac arrest patients who remain unconscious after resuscitation. However, data anal...

Description
Summary:Patients suffering cardiac arrest resulting from ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at very high risk of death. In addition to reperfusion strategies, therapeutic hypothermia is recommended for cardiac arrest patients who remain unconscious after resuscitation. However, data analysis of the impact of therapeutic hypothermia on survival showed inconsistent results. We aimed to investigate the benefits of therapeutic hypothermia in STEMI patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
