Fig. 3From: Clinical features and predictors of outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by out-of-hospital cardiac arrestAMI complicated by OHCA: major findings of the present study). Approximately 1 in 20 AMI patients presented with OHCA. Younger age, absence of diabetes mellitus or dyslipidemia, LMT or LAD as the culprit lesion, and renal deficiency were significantly associated with incidence of OHCA. Thirty-day mortality was more than six times higher in the OHCA group than in the non-OHCA group. Renal deficiency, LMT or LAD as the culprit lesion, and higher blood glucose level were independent predictors of 30-day mortality in the OHCA group.
