Abstract Purpose of Review We aimed to describe the epidemiology of sudden cardiac
death (SCD) in the obese, elaborating on the potential pathophysiological mechanisms …

Increased body mass index (BMI) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and
metabolic diseases. A high BMI may affect outcomes of post-cardiac arrest patients, but the …

The effect of the dimensions of the thoracic cage on the resuscitation outcome of
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers has long been debated. In this study, the …

Background Observational studies examining the association between body mass index
(BMI) and the outcome of cardiac arrest (CA) shows controversial results. Methods We …

Background: To determine the impact of body mass index (BMI) on clinical outcomes in out-
of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors treated with targeted temperature management …

Aim Animal studies have demonstrated that hemodynamic-directed cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) improves outcomes following cardiac arrest compared with the “one …

Background Given the increasing global prevalence of obesity, the International Liaison
Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) commissioned this scoping review to explore current …

The influence of an individual's body mass index (BMI) on cardiac arrest outcomes remains
uncertain. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of BMI categories (underweight …

Background The associations between thoracic cage dimension, chest subcutaneous
adipose tissue (SAT) depth and outcomes of adults with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) …

Background Obesity is a growing health problem worldwide. Morbid obesity has been
