Female patients showed a lower prevalence rate of pre-existing coronary artery disease (48% vs. 75%, p  < 0.001) and cardiomyopathy (17% vs. 34%, p  = 0.01) compared with the male patients, while the mean age and prevalence rate of other cardiovascular risk factors were balanced.

We aimed to investigate the prevalence and outcomes of patients with SMuRF-less ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with those with SMuRFs. Patients with coronary artery disease were excluded. vs 50.8%, p<0.001) and were more likely to experience postprocedural cardiogenic shock (4.5%

The ST segment changes are compatible with severe subendocardial ischemia which can be caused by type I MI from ACS or potentially from type II MI (non-obstructive coronary artery disease with supply/demand mismatch). The arrhythmia spontaneously converted before defibrillation was achieved. This is an ominous sign.

The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. However, he suddenly developed a series of malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Below are printouts of some of the arrhythmias recorded. RCA — 100% proximal occlussion. What do you think?

The diagnostic coronary angiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. Authors' commentary: Cardiogenic shock in the setting of severe aortic stenosis. Fundamentally, cardiogenic shock is an issue of decreased cardiac output.
