In patients with out of hospital cardiac arrest who have been resuscitated but have no ST elevations post-resucitation, does immediate PCI improve survival?
In adult patients (30+ years old) with out of hospital cardiac arrest who have been successfully resuscitated but have no ST elevations post-resuscitation, does immediate PCI improve survival?

Several small and large randomized trials in diabetics had previously suggested a sizable benefit of tight glycemic control in reducing cardiovascular risk. The ACCORD trial was the largest study of its kind and demonstrated that not only does euglycemia (ie, HbA1c <6%) not reduce cardiovascular risk, it also is associated with a trend towards increased mortality.
Early revascularization has demonstrated benefits in preserving ventricular function in those with an acute myocardial infarction; however this intervention is not risk-free. A RCT in patients with NSTEMI and a shockable rhythm showed no difference in 90-day survival with early vs delated angiography

More than half of out of hospital cardiac arrests are attributable to acute coronary syndrome and ST elevations post-resuscitation suggest an correctable coronary lesion with demonstrated benefit of immediate PCI. Lack of ST elevations post-resucitation may be secondary to non-cardiac causes, but the value of immediate angiography is unknown.
