===Inclusion Criteria===
===Inclusion Criteria===
* 30 years or older, with out of hospital resuscitation of cardiac arrest of possible cardiac etiology, without ST elevation post-resuscitation
* Aged ≥30 years
* Out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) of possible cardiac origin with ROSC
* Shockable and unshockable rhythms included
* Shockable and unshockable rhythms included


Line 64: Line 65:
* ST elevation or LBBB
* ST elevation or LBBB
* No ROSC
* No ROSC
* Requiring intervention for hemodynamic instability or electrical instability
* Severe hemodynamic or electrical instability that would indicate urgent coronary angiography and likely intervention
* In hospital arrest
* Non-cardiac origin of OHCA (e.g., TBI, metabolic disorder, electrolyte disorder, intoxication, hemorrhage, lung disease leading to respiratory failure, suffocation, drowning)
* obvious non-cardiac etiology (TBI, primary metabolic derangement, intoxication, overt hemorrhage, respiratory failure in patients with known lung disease, suffocation, drowning)
* In-hospital
* pregnancy
* Pregnancy
* participation in another intervention trial that may interfere with TOMAHAWK participation

==Interventions==
==Interventions==
* Randomized to immediate coronary angiography vs delayed angiography
* Randomized to a group:
* Immediate angiography were taken as soon as possible to cath lab
** '''Immediate angiography''' - Brought to cath lab ASAP after admission
* Delayed angiography were transferred to ICU for evaluation and treatment
** '''Delayed angiography''' - Initial ICU care to stratify OHCA etiology, with later coronary angiography if indicated.
** At least 24 hour delay before angiography unless significant signs of cardiac etiology:
*** Coronary angiography was allowed in first 24 hours if ≥1 of the following:
*** Troponin 70x ULN or CK-MB 10x ULN
**** Troponin 70x ULN or CK-MB 10x ULN
*** Electrical instability
**** Electrical instability
*** Cardiogenic shock
**** Cardiogenic shock
*** New ST elevations
**** New ST elevations
* Both groups revascularized by PCI if at least one culprit lesion
* Both groups revascularized by PCI if at least one culprit lesion; CABG allowed if thought to be more appropriate
** Operator discretion if CABG more appropriate revascularization technique

===Subgroup Analysis===
===Subgroup Analysis===
The primary outcome was similar by age of 65 years, diabetes, type of first rhythm, use of TTM. The WJC editors note the following patterns by specific subgroups.  
The primary outcome was similar by age of 65 years, diabetes, type of first rhythm, use of TTM. While the authors did not note any large differences in the primary outcome by these subgroups, the WJC editors note that the point estimate for the primary estimate was closer to "null" than "harm" with immediate angiography among those with confirmed MI as OHCA (with very wide CIs given small numbers in this group), among men, and ROSC ≥15 min from arrest. The WJC authors do not think there were obvious signals of potential benefit from immediate angiography in these groups.
