Management of cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction: The Henry Ford Hospital experience and review of the literature.

Thirty-year trends (1975 to 2005) in the magnitude of, management of, and hospital death rates associated with cardiogenic shock in patients with acute myocardial infarction: a population-based perspective.

BACKGROUND Limited information is available about potentially changing and contemporary trends in the incidence and hospital death rates of cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction. The objectives of our study were to examine 3-decade-long trends (1975 to 2005) in the incidence rates of cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction, patient characteristics and tre...

Temporal trends in cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUND Limited information is available on trends in the incidence of and mortality due to cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction. We studied the incidence of cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction and in-hospital death rates among patients with this condition in a single community from 1975 through 1997. METHODS We conducted an observational study ...

Hypothermia as an adjunctive therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cardiogenic Shock

Clinical review: mechanical circulatory support for cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction

Acute myocardial infarction is one of the 10 leading reasons for admission to adult critical care units. In-hospital mortality for this condition has remained static in recent years, and this is related primarily to the development of cardiogenic shock. Recent advances in reperfusion therapies have had little impact on the mortality of cardiogenic shock. This may be attributable to the underuti...

Management of cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction: towards evidence based medical practice.

The treatment of cardiogenic shock is the ultimate challenge of our ability to manage patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction. Despite advances in the treatment of infarcts with thrombolysis, there has been no significant decrease in the incidence of cardiogenic shock, which has remained at 7–10% during the last 20 years. Hospital mortality was over 90% in the 1970s and is still hi...
