This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After surviving a cardiac arrest without obvious ST-elevation changes on your heart rhythm, doctors need to figure out whether blocked arteries were the cause. This study tests whether a coronary CT angiogram—a specialized, non-invasive heart scan—can safely rule out blocked arteries in the first few days after your hospitalization. If successful, this scan could help your doctors avoid more invasive procedures and make faster decisions about your treatment.
When you have a cardiac arrest without clear ST-elevation patterns, doctors currently struggle to quickly determine whether blocked arteries caused it. Current tests like EKGs and blood work are not precise enough. This study aims to show that a CT scan of your heart can reliably answer this question early on, helping doctors manage your care more effectively without putting you through unnecessary invasive procedures.

If you join this study, you will undergo a coronary CT angiogram—a specialized heart scan—during your first days in the hospital. This scan uses CT imaging to look at the blood vessels in your heart and assess whether there are any blockages. The scan is non-invasive and takes only minutes. Your doctors will use the results to help decide whether you need additional heart procedures and what medications you should take.
