    Post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) is characterized by systemic inflammation leading to myocardial dysfunction and multi-organ injury.

  • 2

    Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is identified as a critical cytokine driving systemic inflammation after cardiac arrest.

  • 3

    Elevated plasma IL-17A levels were observed in patients who experienced cardiac arrest following myocardial infarction.

  • 4

    Early inhibition of IL-17A with secukinumab improved cardiac function, reduced neuronal apoptosis, and enhanced survival in animal models.

  • 5

    Targeting IL-17A may provide a therapeutic strategy for mitigating inflammation-driven multi-organ injury after cardiac arrest.
