Abstract
Although immediate coronary angiography (CA) is recommended for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and ST-elevation myocardial infarction,1 recent trials do not support routine early CA for patients presenting with OHCA and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).2,3 To understand the potential impact of recent trials on clinical practice, we examined trends in the timing of CA and in-hospital mortality associated with early versus delayed CA for patients with OHCA and NSTEMI using data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) during a period before recent trials were published.
