Background Despite limited beneficial evidence, mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is commonly used in patients with acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS). In this Dutch registry, we investigated MCS usage, associated patient characteristics and clinical outcomes.

BackgroundPercutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is administered to pediatric patients with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. The traditional method uses focal echocardiography to complete the left ventricular measurement.

The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. In this study — Procainamide was superior to Amiodarone for terminating monomorphic VT, as well as having fewer adverse effects than Amiodarone ( Ortiz et al — Eur Heart J 1;38 (17): 1329-1335, 2017 ).

Smith's book : Learning points: 1) OMI can be very subtle and RV infarction may manifest poorly on the standard ECG. 2) Typical persistent chest pain with a sigificantly elevated troponin is OMI until proven otherwise, regardless of the ECG.

The patient went into cardiogenic shock and ultimately died of this MI. Regional wall motion abnormality (WMA): Regional WMA: Inferobasal (this is another name for posterior), akinetic, small. Regional WMA: Lateral , large, hypokinetic. Many come back "positive" and trigger many often unnecessary downstream tests. Sandoval Y et al.
