Dr. Cigarroa, who is director of Cardiac Catheterization Labs, added that, “The findings of improved outcomes in patients presenting to larger urban hospitals underscores the importance of ‘cardiac arrest’ centers which have multidisciplinary systems including first responders to provide timely and appropriate care, as evidenced in prior studies in Europe.”
“This paper,” he concluded, “continues to extend the data supporting the use of angiography and PCI in selected patients presenting with OHCA” but as the researchers concede, “does not present definitive proof of cause and effect.”
