NCT ID NCT03543371

Summary

This study aimed to understand how a person's thinking, memory, and emotional health are affected after their heart stops (cardiac arrest). Researchers compared 200 survivors of cardiac arrest to people who had a heart attack but did not have their heart stop. They gave detailed tests of brain function about 7 months and 2 years later to see how people recover over time.
