Ventilatory modalities in cardiogenic shock: insights from the AltShock-2 registry. Aims To describe the use and the relation to outcome of different ventilation strategies in a contemporary, large, prospective registry of cardiogenic shock patients. All-cause mortality at 24h did not differ amongst the three groups.

Figure B At this point, with the ECG changing from diffuse ST depression to widespread ST elevation and the patient presenting in cardiogenic shock, left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion is the likely diagnosis. This patient is actively dying from a left main coronary artery OMI and cardiac arrest from VT/VF or PEA is imminent!

BackgroundAcute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI‐CS) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A total of 406 patients were enrolled at 80 sites between 2016 and 2020. mmol/L and cardiac power output was 0.67±0.29 watts. The primary end point was in‐hospital mortality.

Some patients have baseline RBBB with LAFB, but in patients with likely ACS, these are associated with severe infarction with cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock or impending shock. Suffice it to say that, "The heart does whatever it will do when a patient is about to arrest".

Impella and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMICS). Methods and results This nationwide observational cohort study describes all AMICS patients treated with Impella (ABIOMED, Danvers, MA, USA) and/or VA-ECMO in 2020–2021.

Results From 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2020, 2727/18 988 (14.4%) patients were SMuRF less, with the proportion increasing over time. SMuRF-less patients were more likely to present with cardiac arrest (6.6% vs 50.8%, p<0.001) and were more likely to experience postprocedural cardiogenic shock (4.5%
