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

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

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% pharmacoinvasive and 46.2% in the pharmacoinvasive arm versus 18.7%

Early Utilization of Mechanical Circulatory Support in Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock: The National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundAcute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI‐CS) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. mmol/L and cardiac power output was 0.67±0.29 watts. Journal of the American Heart Association, Volume 12, Issue 23 , December 5, 2023.

Impella and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction

European Journal of Heart Failure

Impella and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMICS). Impella patients were older (34% vs. 13% >75 years, p  < 0.001) and less frequently presented after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (18% vs. 40%, p  < 0.001).

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

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

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. Later the next day, she went into cardiac arrest again. By the time I saw the repeat EKG, the patient was already in cardiac arrest.

Prevalence and outcomes of patients with SMuRF-less acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Open Heart

SMuRF-less patients were more likely to present with cardiac arrest (6.6% vs 3.9%, p<0.001) and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (59.1% vs 50.8%, p<0.001) and were more likely to experience postprocedural cardiogenic shock (4.5% vs 3.6%, p=0.019) and arrhythmia (11.2% vs 9.9%, p=0.029).

Lactate was 20, POC Cardiac US showed EF estimated at 30%, and formal echo showed EF of only 15%, and a normal RV. Assessment was severe sudden cardiogenic shock. In normal times, the most common use of cTni is in diagnosing, or ruling out, acute myocardial infarction (AMI, a subcategory of acute myocardial injury.
