title: [Primary cardiogenic shock in the acute phase of myocardial infarction treated by angioplasty: experience of three non-university public centers in Alsace].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Evaluation of angioplasty for primary cardiogenic shock in acute myocardial infarction in three non-universitary alsacians centres between 1999 and 2002.
  
  
  RESULTS
  One hundred and eighty-two patients were included. Hospitalisation survival rate is 43.96% after hospital discharge. One hundred and forty-nine patients were treated by primary angioplasty. Angioplasty is successful in 79.12%. The predictives factors of death are: age > 75, TIMI = 0 at the admission, three vessels disease. Twenty-four months survival is 91% (follow-up data available on 28.75% of the patients alive at hospital discharge).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Angioplasty seems to be the right choice in case of acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock, the results are better than medical treatment at short- and mid-term.
