Thirteen survivors of cardiac arrest outside the hospital were examined by clinical and psychological tests 1–3 years after the incidence, and compared to a matched control group of 13 patients with acute myocardial infarction without cardiac arrest. Psychological tests revaled that 7 patients with previous cardiac arrest and 4 control patients had mild‐moderate to moderate‐severe dementia. The demential symptoms were not detectable by a clinical interview. Four patients in each group exhibited pronounced anxiety symptoms. There were no clear differences between the two groups in respect of changes in cardiac function and social status after the incidence.
