Early management strategy for ventricular fibrillation (VF) out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors after hospital admission to decrease early and long-term risk of recurrent sudden death. Asterisk indicates patients with persistent left ventricular dysfunction and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) reenter for consideration of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy via Multicenter Unsustained Tachycardia Trial (MUSTT) and Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial I (MADIT I) criteria.
