Impact of early percutaneous coronary intervention on short- and long-term outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction.
This study assesses the impact of early percutaneous coronary intervention in patients presenting with cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction. Predictors of in-hospital death include the need for intubation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and angiographic failure; long-term outcomes at 2 years in hospital survivors are favorable.
