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.

Now appears to be in cardiogenic shock." However, cardiogenic shock usually takes some time to develop, so it is probably subacute." Cardiogenic shock and ACS is an indication for the cath lab, even if you don't think there is OMI. I was texted these ECGs. Then SOB and nausea the next day.

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. Today's patient did make it to the hospital — but was in cardiogenic shock, and despite valiant attempt at treatment, succumbed soon after.

This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of chronic opioid therapy on HFpEF patients.Methods:Studying the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2020), we identified adult HFpEF patients using the appropriate ICD-10 codes -after excluding patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD)- and compared outcomes between chronic opioid users and non-users.

The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. As I review in My Comment in the January 16, 2020 post of Dr. Smith's ECG Blog ( and have reproduced in Figure-2 below ) — the ECG of patients with acute LMCA occlusion may be varied.

Although ECG signs of acute PE typically involve inferior and/or anterior lead ST depression/T wave inversion — on occasion, there can be ST elevation ( Gheith et al — Cureus 14(9): e29249, 2022 — and — Siddiqa et al — Am J Case Reports 21: e927923-6, 2020 ). When seen — such ST elevation is typically seen in anterior leads.

Because of the tachcardia, I would expect her to be very poor left ventricular function and maybe Cardiogenic shock.

Tachycardia is unusual for OMI, unless the patient is in cardiogenic shock (or getting close). The November 10, 2020 post — for PTA.

Tachycardia is unusual in ACS unless there is cardiogenic shock or a second simultaneous pathology. Remember that is the odds ratio comparing all patients without PE to those with PE. If you did an OR for all patients with ACS vs. those without ACS, it would be far higher. I agree completely with Dr.

Methods Using the National Inpatient Sample data from 2016 to 2020, we identified adult patients (≥18 years) with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and TC. We reviewed the characteristics and in-hospital outcomes and developed a novel risk score for TC. We divided the cohort into ACS with and without TC and retrieved baseline data.
