Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics-2022 Update: A Report From the American Heart Association

Connie W. Tsao et al.

Summary: This article introduces the latest statistics on heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors published by the American Heart Association in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health. The Statistical Update includes data on a range of clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions and their associated outcomes. It serves as a critical resource for the general public, policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers, and others seeking the best available data.

ERC-ESICM guidelines on temperature control after cardiac arrest in adults

Claudio Sandroni et al.

Summary: These guidelines provide evidence-based guidance for temperature control in comatose adults after cardiac arrest, regardless of the underlying rhythm. Continuous monitoring of core temperature and prevention of fever for at least 72 hours is recommended. There is insufficient evidence to support or refute temperature control at 32-36 degrees Celsius or early cooling after cardiac arrest.

A risk-adjustment model for patients presenting to hospitals with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Andy T. Tran et al.

Summary: There is significant variation in mortality rates among STEMI patients complicated by OHCA. Current national efforts to benchmark mortality rates for coronary angiography may not adequately account for the severity of patient case-mix.

Effects of targeted temperature management at 33 °C vs. 36 °C on comatose patients after cardiac arrest stratified by the severity of encephalopathy

Sjoukje Nutma et al.

Summary: By conducting a study on 479 adult comatose post-cardiac arrest patients, it was found that TTM at 33°C had better outcomes in treating patients with moderate encephalopathy, while both 33°C and 36°C had similar outcomes in treating patients with mild encephalopathy. These results support the inclusion of predefined subgroup analysis based on EEG measures of the severity of encephalopathy in future clinical trials.

Outcome Related to Level of Targeted Temperature Management in Postcardiac Arrest Syndrome of Low, Moderate, and High Severities: A Nationwide Multicenter Prospective Registry

Mitsuaki Nishikimi et al.

Summary: This study included 1,111 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients who received targeted temperature management. For patients with moderate severity postcardiac arrest syndrome, targeted temperature management at 33-34 degrees Celsius was significantly associated with a good neurologic outcome and survival rate at 30 days, while no significant association was found for patients with low or high severity.

Changes in temperature management and outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in United Kingdom intensive care units following publication of the targeted temperature management trial

J. P. Nolan et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of the publication of the TTM trial on the trends in temperature management and outcome following admission to UK ICUs for OHCA patients. Results showed higher temperature and increased fever rates in the post-TTM cohort, but no significant change in mortality after adjusting for time trend and variation between critical care units.

Hypothermia versus Normothermia after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Josef Dankiewicz et al.

Summary: A randomized trial comparing hypothermia and normothermia treatment after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest showed no significant differences in death or functional outcomes at 6 months. The hypothermia group had a higher incidence of arrhythmia resulting in hemodynamic compromise compared to the normothermia group.
