Heart Pump Improves Survival After Severe Heart Attacks

DAIC

The new trial, called DanGer Shock , is the first trial powered to examine whether the use of micro-axial flow pumps can improve survival in ST-elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI, the most serious type of heart attack) that are complicated by cardiogenic shock. Among 355 patients who were included in the analysis, 58.5%
