Processing speed/attention will be assessed with the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) 36. It was found to discriminate between OHCA-survivors and MI-controls in a previous study 21. The total amount of correct answers within 90 s are calculated and transformed into age and education adjusted z-scores. Scores ≤1.5 SD below the mean indicate impaired function 37.
