<![CDATA[Cardiovascular disease, especially congestive heart failure, is the second most common cause of death after stroke In Indonesia, current data on cardiac arrest in the ICU, especially those related to CHF, are still limited. This study aimed to determine the relationship between congestive heart failure and cardiac arrest in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) inpatients. The study used an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional research design. To find the relationship between the two variables, a regression test was performed on subjects with congestive heart failure and cardiac arrest in the ICU. Data was collected from 316 subjects, including 111 Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) subjects and 205 without CHF. Of the 111 CHF subjects, 51 subjects (45.9%) experienced cardiac arrest, and 60 subjects (54.1%) did not experience cardiac arrest. In comparison, the 205 subjects without CHF comprised 125 subjects (61.0%) who experienced cardiac arrest, and 80 subjects (39.0%) did not experience cardiac arrest. There is a relationship between congestive heart failure (CHF) and cardiac arrest, but CHF is not the only risk factor for cardiac arrest (p<0.05; OR 0.75). Congestive heart failure is associated with cardiac arrest in ICU patients with a relative risk of 0.75 times compared to subjects without congestive heart failure. Future research is needed to find the cause of congestive heart failure leading to cardiac arrest.]]>
