Popis: Background: Post cardiac arrest left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is routinely assessed, but the implications of this are unknown. This study aimed to assess the association between post cardiac arrest LVEF and survival to hospital discharge. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, all in-hospital and out of hospital cardiac arrests at our tertiary care center between January 2012 and September 2015 were included. Baseline demographics, clinical data, characteristics of the arrest, and interventions performed were collected. Earliest post cardiac arrest echocardiograms were reviewed with LVEF documented. The primary outcome was survival to discharge. Results: A total of 736 patients were included in the analysis (mean age 58 years, 44% female). 15% were out of hospital cardiac arrest (24% shockable rhythm). After adjusting for covariates, patients with LVEF
