To test the diagnostic accuracy of ECG-gated coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to detect coronary artery disease (CAD) among survivors of out-of-hospital circulatory arrest (OHCA). ⋯ NCT03111043 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/record/NCT03111043.

To examine the association between heat index (HI) during the induction, maintenance, and rewarming periods of targeted temperature management (TTM) and neurologic outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors. ⋯ Heat generation was independently associated with neurologic outcome in OHCA survivors who underwent TTM at 33 °C. The performance of HI was higher in the rewarming period than in the induction or maintenance period in association with poor neurologic outcomes.
