Improving Survival in Cardiogenic Shock by Adopting a Uniform Approach to Systems of Care
Reference: J Am Coll Cardiol 2018; 72:1972-80 Cardiogenic shock continues to be the leading cause of death in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).1 Despite implementation of guideline-recommended early revascularization, mortality rates in AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) remains constant at about 50%. Given that about 60,000 patients with AMI develop CS every … Continue reading “Improving Survival in Cardiogenic Shock by Adopting a Uniform Approach to Systems of Care”
