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.

The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. Troponin T peaked at 38,398 ng/L ( = a very large myocardial infarction, but not massive-- thanks to the pre-PCI spontaneous reperfusion, and rapid internvention!! ).

Admissions to CICUs with the highest tertile of CCRx utilization had a greater burden of comorbidities, had more diagnoses of ST–elevation myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, or cardiogenic shock, and had higher Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores. CCRx was provided to 62.2% (interhospital range of 21.3%–87.1%)

LAD 80% mid LCx occluded mid (acute infarct lesion) RCA 80% mid. PCI mid LCx So this is an OMI (Occlusion Myocardial Infarction), but not a STEMI Echo: Decreased left ventricular systolic performance, mild/moderate. The patient went into cardiogenic shock and ultimately died of this MI. The cath lab was activated.

Many of these issues were described in a prior post by Dr. Angie Lobo ( @aloboMD ) (For open-access reviews of this literature, see Saw 2016 , Saw 2017 , or Hayes 2018.) were pretty sick, with mostly LM/pLAD lesions and high rates of cardiogenic shock. Lobo et al. examined SCAD presenting as STEMI (unlike Hassan et al.
