Methods: Prospectively collected data at a tertiary cardiac centre on all patients undergoing PPCI for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the setting of CA was analysed. Results: In total, 484/4118 (11.8%) patients sustained CA during the study period. Of these, 91/484 (18.8%) sustained CA prior to ambulance arrival, the remainder occurred either after ambulance arrival or in hospital. The overall in-hospital mortality was 20.5% in this cohort. Those sustaining CA before ambulance arrival experienced the highest unadjusted mortality compared to those that had CA after ambulance arrival, in hospital and in the catheterisation laboratory (29.7% versus 12.0%, 16.1% and 23.8% respectively, p=0.03). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the following parameters are independent predictors of in-hospital mortality: age (odds ratio (OR) for each year increment of age 1.05; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02–1.08, p=0.0009); female gender (OR 2.42; 95% CI 1.17–4.99, p=0.0173); previous PCI (OR 7.59; 95% CI 1.72–33.53, p=0.0075); asystole/ electromechanical dissociation (EMD) (OR 13.43; 95% CI 5.34–33.80, p<0.0001); and patient location at arrest (OR 5.77 for before ambulance arrival; 95% CI 2.55–13.07, p<0.0001).
