Evaluation of post-cardiac arrest patients. Novel study designs that systematically evaluate out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors can inform research topics related to differences in presenting rhythms at the time of sudden cardiac arrest; SCD risk stratification; and prognostication of neurologic recovery. MCS, mechanical circulatory support; VA ECMO, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
