TL;DR: A systematic review of studies published from January 1, 1950, through November 31, 2008 using PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Knowledge, CINAHL, and all Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews found that randomized clinical trials and prospective studies of RRTs that reported data on changes in the primary outcome of hospital mortality or the secondary outcome of cardiopulmonary arrest cases were included.

TL;DR: Although RRTs have broad appeal, robust evidence to support their effectiveness in reducing hospital mortality is lacking and studies frequently found evidence that deaths were prevented out of proportion to reductions in cases of cardiopulmonary arrest, raising questions about mechanisms of improvement.

TL;DR: A wide and careful analysis of findings available in the literature about the assessment of RV systolic function by strain measurements, comparing them with conventional parameters and evaluating their role in several clinical settings is provided.

TL;DR: For cardiac arrest caused by shockable rhythms, underweight, normal weight, and very obese patients had lower rates of survival to discharge.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a summary overview and discuss the additive value non-invasive myocardial work provides to left ventricular systolic function assessment, examine how to acquire and measure, discuss normal reference values, examine its role in a multitude of cardiac conditions that have been investigated in current research, review a variety of clinical applications, and discuss potential limitations.
