We read with much interest the article by Sarak et al entitled: “Electrocardiographic
Findings in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome Presenting with Out-of-Hospital
Cardiac Arrest”.
1
The authors reported better outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome who
presented with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) if initial electrocardiogram
(ECG) showed ST-segment elevation, worse outcome if left bundle branch block was observed,
and no influence on outcome if right bundle branch block or ST-segment denivelation
occurred.- Sarak B.
