Researchers have revealed that women who survive cardiac arrest are at more risk of developing anxiety and depression than male survivors.
The research team made the findings by examining how socioeconomic and mental health outcomes changed over five years for men and women who experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). They studied 259 women and 996 men in North Holland, the Netherlands, who survived 30 days after cardiac arrest incidents between 2009 and 2015.
