Acute cardiac care & resuscitation

Phenotypes of cardiogenic shock after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: the SCAI-V classification

EuroInterventionPublished retrospective analysis of an international derivation cohort and external validation

Authors' conclusion

The SCAI-V classification enhances phenotypic profiling of CS after resuscitated OHCA and may improve patient selection for early invasive therapies in this population.

TTM-2: consistent model fit advantages and discrimination comparable to SCAI-2022
