title: The prognostic value of MR-proadrenomedullin in patients with acute coronary syndrome complicated by cardiogenic shock.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cardiogenic shock (CS) still remains one of the main causes of death in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of midregional (MR)-proadrenomedullin in AMI complicated by CS.
  
  
  METHODS
  Forty-seven consecutive patients were included in our prospective observational study. All patients underwent coronarography and successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Plasma levels of MR-proADM were measured by a immunofluorescence method. The primary endpoint of the study, defined as cardiovascular death, occurred in 17 patients (36%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Elevated plasma level of MR-proADM, determined 24 h after diagnosis of CS could be a predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with AMI complicated by CS.
