What is recommended for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims with initial VF who survive to hospital admission?
The American Heart Association (AHA) issued a policy statement calling for communities to establish regional systems of care for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims. The AHA recommends that these victims should receive emergency coronary angiography with prompt opening of the infarct artery and early PCI. This is recommended in order to maximize the chances of survival to hospital discharge.
