First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study looked at how well people recover their thinking, memory, and emotions after a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. About 200 survivors completed memory and thinking tests, as well as questionnaires about their mood, fatigue, and sleep, at 7 and 24 months after their cardiac arrest. Their results were compared to a similar group of people who had a heart attack but not a cardiac arrest. The goal was to understand the long-term effects on the brain and to improve how doctors check for these problems.
