🩺 Angiography after heart attack arrest: what the science says

Immediate coronary angiography did not improve 30-day survival compared to a deferred strategy for patients without ECG ST-elevation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. This finding came from the DISCO trial and a meta-analysis presented at ESC Congress 2026 in Munich, Germany. The large DISCO trial included 1,006 adult unconscious patients across 23 centers in Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands. These results support current guidelines suggesting against routine immediate angiography in these specific patients.
