&NA; Contemporary utilization patterns for targeted temperature management (TTM) among patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have not been well characterized in the United States. In this nationwide evaluation of MI patients with OHCA (01/2015–03/2016; 691 hospitals), 34.1% (1792/5260) of OHCA patients received TTM. Patients who were treated with TTM had higher risk clinical features. A wide inter‐hospital variation (ranging from 0% to 82%) in TTM use observed despite few differences in case mix.
