Comparison of the effects of lidocaine and amiodarone for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients with shockable rhythms: a retrospective observational study from a multicenter registry
BackgroundOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with shockable rhythms, including ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia, is...

The Dutch Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation Registry: progress report on the quest to identify the unidentifiable
BackgroundIdiopathic ventricular fibrillation (iVF) is a rare cause of sudden cardiac arrest and, by definition, a diagnosis of exclusion. Due to the...

External validation of the CREST model to predict early circulatory-etiology death after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest without initial ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
BackgroundThe CREST model is a prediction model, quantitating the risk of circulatory-etiology death (CED) after cardiac arrest based on variables...

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients with an initial non-shockable rhythm could be candidates for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a retrospective study
BackgroundExtracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a promising treatment for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Most...

Outcomes in Dutch DPP6 risk haplotype for familial idiopathic ventricular fibrillation: a focused update
BackgroundThe genetic risk haplotype DPP6 has been linked to familial idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF), but the associated long-term...

Impact of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation on neurological outcomes in patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
BackgroundVeno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) requires a large amount of economic and human resources. The presence of...
