“Endothelial Dysfunction in Resuscitated Cardiac Arrest (ENDO-RCA): Safety and efficacy of low-dose Iloprost, a prostacyclin analogue, in addition to standard therapy, as compared to standard therapy alone, in post-cardiac-arrest-syndrome patients.”

Aug 18, 2020 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on “Endothelial Dysfunction in Resuscitated Cardiac Arrest (ENDO-RCA): Safety and efficacy of low-dose Iloprost, a prostacyclin analogue, in addition to standard therapy, as compared to standard therapy alone, in post-cardiac-arrest-syndrome patients.”

Abstract Objective An increasingly recognized prognostic factor for out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest (OHCA) patients is the ischemia-reperfusion injury after restored blood circulation. Endothelial injury is common in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest and…
