Reperfusion in Patients With ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction With Cardiogenic Shock and Prolonged Interhospital Transport Times

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:In patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock, primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) is the preferred revascularization option. pharmacoinvasive and 46.2% pharmacoinvasive and 46.2% 1.09];P=0.08).CONCLUSIONS:In

Prognostic influence of mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation on survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest undergoing ECPR on VA-ECMO

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in selected patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is an established method if return of spontaneous circulation cannot be achieved.

How terrible can it be to fail to recognize OMI? To whom is OMI Obvious or Not Obvious?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Given that this is before it is released into the circulation by reperfusion therapy, this is a massively elevated troponin. About 45 minutes after the second EKG, the patient was found in cardiac arrest. A temporary pacemaker was implanted, and she was admitted to the ICU with cardiogenic shock.

What are treatment options for this rhythm, when all else fails?

The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. LAD — 100% proximal occlusion; with 70-89% mid-vessel narrowing. LCx — 50-69% stenosis of the 1st marginal branch; with 100% distal LCx occlusion. RCA — 100% proximal occlussion.
