The apolipoprotein E 3/3 (apoE 3/3) genotype is associated with a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and with a favorable neurological outcome after traumatic head injury. In vitro studies suggest that the most common genotype, apoE 3/3, may be involved in neuroprotective and neuroregenerative mechanisms. The aim of this study was to determine whether the apoE 3/3 genotype has an impact on survival and neurological outcome after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
