Why the study?
It was unknown whether out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors have lower physical activity levels than non-cardiac arrest acute myocardial infarction controls, and data on predictors of inactivity were lacking.
Do out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors have lower levels of self-reported physical activity compared to acute myocardial infarction controls?
Do out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors have lower levels of self-reported physical activity compared to acute myocardial infarction controls?
This protocol outlines a cross-sectional sub-study of the TTM2 trial to evaluate physical activity levels and predictors of inactivity in OHCA survivors compared to MI controls.

OHCA survivors report similar activity levels to MI controls; leaves open whether targeted rehab improves long-term function.
