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!! ).

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.

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%)
