The Neurological and Cognitive Sequelae of Cardiac Arrest
Neurol 63:1774-1778, Lim,C.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Diffuse, sudden ischemic-hypoxic injury caused by cardiac arrest (CA) does not preferentially damage memory systems. Subacute or stepwise hypoxic or excitotoxic injury may cause isolated hippocampal injury and amnesia. The common pattern of impairment in the postacute phase after CA is a combination of memory, subtle motor, and variable executive deficits.
