  1. Basic data of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the cardiological control group (Control). Both groups are comparable in baseline variables including age, gender, incidence of coronary artery disease, coronary angiography, congestive heart failure and other relevant secondary disorders. There are slight but significant differences in distribution of cardiovascular risk factors as well as co-medication.
  2. CA, cardiac arrest; CAD, coronary artery disease; CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation; CRP, C-reactive protein; GOS, Glasgow Outcome Scale; ns, statistically not significant; PAD, peripheral artery disease; PEA, pulseless electrical activity; SOFA, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment; VF, ventricular fibrillation; VT, ventricular tachycardia.
