What are the treatment measures following cardiac arrest resuscitation?

The treatment approach following the resuscitation of cardiac arrest involves addressing the underlying disease. The common causes of cardiac arrest generally include coronary heart disease and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

1. Coronary Heart Disease: Coronary heart disease may be caused by coronary artery stenosis, which can also be a consequence of the disease. It leads to chest pain and tightness, with symptoms intensifying after physical activity. Failure to receive proper treatment can result in cardiac arrest. After resuscitating from cardiac arrest, the patient needs to undergo treatment for coronary heart disease, typically through coronary artery bypass grafting.

2. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic disease with autosomal dominant inheritance. Approximately 60% of adult patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be detected with significant pathogenic gene mutations. After developing the disease, patients may experience exertional dyspnea, chest tightness, chest pain, and physical fatigue. Severe cases may also lead to cardiac arrest. Following resuscitation, timely treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is necessary. Common treatment methods include septal myectomy and alcohol septal ablation.
