Abstract

Backgrounds: Although the mortality rates for AMI have declined, the mortality rate for AMI with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains high. It has been supposed that CTO (chronic total occlusion) in non-infarct related artery is associated with OHCA patients. However, the detailed angiographic and prognostic comparison between OHCA patients and non-OHCA patients stratified by Killip classification has not been well evaluated. Methods: Among 5662 AMI patients (5420 non-OHCA patients and 242 OHCA patient) who underwent emergency coronary angiography between 2013 and 2020 were enrolled from Mie ACS registry. Difference of culprit lesion and non-infarct related CTO lesion were analyzed between with and without OHCA. They were further stratified using Killip classification. Results: In-hospital mortality for AMI patients with OHCA was 31.4%, significantly higher than the 5.5% for AMI patients with non-OHCA (p<0.001), and mortality rates tended to be increased with increasing Killip class in each group(P<0.001). AMI patients with OHCA also had a significantly higher frequency of culprit artery with LMT and LAD and a higher frequency of CTO lesion in non-infarct related artery compared to the AMI patients with non-OHCA.(See Table) Multivariate analysis revealed that LAD CTO in non-infarct related artery(Odds ratio 2.3) culprit artery of LMT and LAD (Odds ratio 3.2 and 1.6), lower BMI(Odds ratio 0.96), younger age(Odds ratio 0.98) and male gender (Odds ratio 1.7)was significantly associated with OHCA(P<0.05, respectively). However, non-LAD CTO lesion in non-infarct related artery was not associated with OHCA Conclusions: Patients with OHCA had a higher incidence of culprit artery with LMT and LAD, and non-infarct-related LAD CTO lesion, suggesting that extensive myocardial ischemia with LAD lesion was strongly associated with OHCA.
