Objectives: Recent research suggests that increased cerebral oxygen use during surgical intervention for neonates with congenital heart disease may play a role in the development of postoperative white matter injury.

VASOSPASTIC ARREST: A HEART-STOPPING CASE OF PRINZMETAL ANGINA
Vasospastic angina is an uncommon cause of cardiac arrest. We describe a patient who presented with sudden cardiac arrest due to severe coronary vasospasm. Telemetry during the event revealed ventricular arrhythmias and asystole followed by spontaneous self-conversion back to normal sinus rhythm.

The effects of cardioplegic arrest and reperfusion on the microvasculature of the heart [PDF]
Despite laboratory evidence of leucocyte involvement in reperfusion injury, cardiac surgical clinical trials do not support the therapeutic effectiveness of leucocyte filtration. Furthermore, the direct effects of crystalloid cardioplegia and reperfusion on the capillaries of the heart have yet to be elucidated.

Predictive model of cardiac arrest in smokers using machine learning technique based on Heart Rate Variability parameter [PDF]
Cardiac arrest is a severe heart anomaly that results in billions of annual casualties. Smoking is a specific hazard factor for cardiovascular pathology, including coronary heart disease, but data on smoking and heart death not earlier reviewed.

A systematic review of neuroprotective strategies after cardiac arrest: from bench to bedside (Part I - Protection via specific pathways). [PDF]
Neurocognitive deficits are a major source of morbidity in survivors of cardiac arrest. Treatment options that could be implemented either during cardiopulmonary resuscitation or after return of spontaneous circulation to improve these neurological ...

Mechanical chest-compression devices: current and future roles [PDF]
Purpose of review: It is recognised that the quality of CPR is an important predictor of outcome from cardiac arrest yet studies consistently demonstrate that the quality of CPR performed in real life is frequently sub-optimal.

Heart rate variability predicts cell death and inflammatory responses to global cerebral ischemia
This study examines the relationship between autonomic functioning and neuropathology following cardiac arrest in mice. Within 24h of cardiac arrest, parasympathetic cardiac control, as indexed by heart rate variability (HRV), rapidly decreases. By day 7

Optimal Protective Hypothermia in Arrested Mammalian Hearts [PDF]
Many therapeutic hypothermia recommendations have been reported, but the information supporting them is sparse, and reveals a need for the data of target therapeutic hypothermia (TTH) from well-controlled experiments. The core temperature ≤35°C is considered as hypothermia, and 29°C is a cooling injury threshold in pig heart in vivo.

Variability of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation utilization for refractory adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: an international survey study. [PDF]
Objective: A growing interest in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) as a rescue strategy for refractory adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) currently exists.
