Abstract
BACKGROUND Although a door-to-balloon (D2B) time ≤90 min is recognized as a key indicator of timely reperfusion for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), it is unclear whether regional disparities in the prognostic value of D2B remain in contemporary Japan.Methods and Results: We retrospectively analyzed 17,167 STEMI patients (mean [±SD] age 68±13 years, 77.6% male) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. With reference to the Japanese median population density of 1,147 people/km2, patients were divided into 2 groups: rural (n=6,908) and urban (n=10,259). Compared with the urban group, median D2B time was longer (70 vs. 62 min; P<0.001) and the rate of achieving a D2B time ≤90 min was lower (70.7% vs. 75.4%; P<0.001) in the rural group. In-hospital mortality was lower for patients with a D2B time ≤90 min than >90 min, regardless of residential area, whereas multivariable analysis identified prolonged D2B time as a predictor of in-hospital death only in the rural group (adjusted odds ratio 1.57; 95% confidence interval 1.18-2.09; P=0.002). Importantly, the rural-urban disparity in in-hospital mortality emerged most distinctively among patients with Killip Class IV and a D2B time >90 min. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that there is a substantial rural-urban gap in the prognostic significance of D2B time among STEMI patients, especially those with cardiogenic shock and a prolonged D2B time.

Prognosis of cardiogenic shock secondary to culprit left main coronary artery lesion-related myocardial infarction. ESC Heart Fail 2022; 10:111-120. [PMID: 36151843 PMCID: PMC9871657 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.14128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to assess, in patients with cardiogenic shock secondary to unprotected left main coronary artery-related myocardial infarction (ULMCA-related AMICS), the incidence and predictors of no recovery of left ventricular function during the admission. METHODS AND RESULTS This was an observational study conducted at two tertiary care centres (2012-20). The main outcome measured was death or requirement for heart transplantation (HT) or left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) during the admission. A total of 70 patients were included. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was successful in 53/70 patients (75.7%). The combined endpoint of death or requirement of HT or LVAD during the admission occurred in 41/70 patients (58.6%). The highest incidence of the primary endpoint was observed among patients with profound shock and occluded left main coronary artery (LMCA) (20/23, 87%, P < 0.001). Although a successful PCI reduced the incidence of the event in the whole cohort (51.9% vs. 82.4% in failed PCI, P = 0.026), this association was not observed among this last group of complex patients (86.7% vs. 87.5% in failed PCI, P = 0.731). The predictive model included left ventricular ejection fraction, baseline ULMCA Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow, and severity of shock and showed an optimal ability for predicting death or requirements for HT or LVAD during the admission (area under the curve 0.865, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS ULMCA-related AMICS was associated with a high in-hospital mortality or need for HT or LVAD. Prognosis was especially poor among patients with profound shock and baseline occluded LMCA, with a low probability of recovery regardless of successful PCI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare clinical features and outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) treated in the early experience with Impella percutaneous ventricular assist device and patients treated recently. BACKGROUND Since pre-market approval (PMA) of Impella device as treatment for AMICS, use of the device has grown considerably. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 649 AMICS patients treated with perioperative Impella, with 291 patients treated from 2008 to 2014 comprising the early experience cohort and 358 patients treated from 2017 to 2019 comprising the recent experience cohort. The primary end point was risk adjusted in-hospital mortality. RESULTS Mean age and gender distribution of patients was similar in the two cohorts. The recent cohort had more invasive hemodynamic monitoring (64% vs 46%; P < .001) and less use of an intra-aortic balloon pump prior to Impella (15% vs 41%; P < .001). Recently treated patients were significantly more likely to receive Impella support prior to PCI (58% vs 44%; P = .005). In-hospital mortality was lower in the recent cohort (48% vs 56%; P = .043). This difference was however no longer significant after risk adjustment (adjusted OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.59-1.34, P = .59). Rates of acute kidney injury, major bleeding, and vascular complications requiring surgery were also significantly lower in the recent cohort. CONCLUSIONS Use of Impella for AMICS during recent years is associated with lower unadjusted in-hospital mortality, which may reflect better patient selection, earlier device implantation, and improved management algorithms. In-depth understanding of these factors may inform the development of future treatment protocols.

Implementation of a Comprehensive ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Protocol Improves Mortality Among Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Cardiogenic Shock. Am J Cardiol 2020; 134:1-7.

Abstract
Mortality in patients with STEMI-associated cardiogenic shock (CS) is increasing. Whether a comprehensive ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) protocol (CSP) can improve their care delivery and mortality is unknown. We evaluated the impact of a CSP on incidence and outcomes in patients with STEMI-associated CS. We implemented a 4-step CSP including: (1) Emergency Department catheterization lab activation; (2) STEMI Safe Handoff Checklist; (3) immediate catheterization lab transfer; (4) and radial-first percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We studied 1,272 consecutive STEMI patients who underwent PCI and assessed for CS incidence per National Cardiovascular Data Registry definitions within 24-hours of PCI, care delivery, and mortality before (January 1, 2011, to July 14, 2014; n = 723) and after (July 15, 2014, to December 31, 2016; n = 549) CSP implementation. Following CSP implementation, CS incidence was reduced (13.0% vs 7.8%, p = 0.003). Of 137 CS patients, 43 (31.4%) were in the CSP group. CSP patients had greater IABP-Shock II risk scores (1.9 ± 1.8 vs 2.8 ± 2.2, p = 0.014) with otherwise similar hemodynamic and baseline characteristics, cardiac arrest incidence, and mechanical circulatory support use. Administration of guideline-directed medical therapy was similar (89.4% vs 97.7%, p = 0.172) with significant improvements in trans-radial PCI (9.6% vs 44.2%, p < 0.001) and door-to-balloon time (129.0 [89:160] vs 95.0 [81:116] minutes, p = 0.001) in the CSP group, translating to improvements in infarct size (CK-MB 220.9 ± 156.0 vs 151.5 ± 98.5 ng/ml, p = 0.005), ejection fraction (40.8 ± 14.5% vs 46.7 ± 14.6%, p = 0.037), and in-hospital mortality (30.9% vs 14.0%, p = 0.037). In conclusion, CSP implementation was associated with improvements in CS incidence, infarct size, ejection fraction, and in-hospital mortality in patients with STEMI-associated CS. This strategy offers a potential solution to bridging the historically elusive gap in their care.

Abstract
Objectives. Coronary revascularisation and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has been considered the gold standard treatment of acute coronary syndrome with cardiogenic shock, recently challenged by the SHOCK II study. The aim of this non-randomised study was to investigate the long term prognosis after immediate IABP supported angiography, in patients with acute chest pain and cardiogenic shock, treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), cardiac surgery or optimal medical treatment. We assessed data from 281 consecutive patients admitted to our department from 2004 to 2010. Results. Mean (±SD) age was 63.8 ± 11.5 (range 30-84) years with a follow-up of 5.6 ± 4.4 (0-12.7) years. Acute myocardial infarction was the primary diagnosis in 93% of the patients, 4% presented with unstable angina pectoris and 3% cardiomyopathy or arrhythmias of non-ischemic aetiology. Systolic blood pressure at admittance was 85 ± 18 mmHg and diastolic 55 ± 18 mmHg. Thirty day, one- and five-year survival was 71.2%, 67.3% and 57.7%, respectively. PCI was performed immediately in 70%, surgery was done in 17%, and 13% were not eligible for any revascularisation. Independent variables predicting mortality were medical treatment vs revascularisation, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and advanced age. Three serious non-fatal complications occurred due to IABP treatment, i.e. 0.001 per treatment day. Conclusions. We report the use of IABP in patients with acute chest pain admitted for angiography. Long-term survival is acceptable and discriminating factors were no revascularisation, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and age. IABP was safe and feasible and the complication rate was low.

Abstract
In contrast to the situation in the 1960s and 1970s, the mortality risk for patients with myocardial infarction has been clearly reduced, particularly for those with myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock (MICS). Approximately 5‑10 % of patients with a myocardial infarction are affected by a MICS and the mortality risk is between 30 % and 50 %. The primary percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation should be carried out as quickly as possible in order to reduce the mortality to around 20 %. This article gives an overview of the currently available options for conservative and fibrinolytic treatment of MICS, of the interventional treatment of cardiogenic shock in the era of intravenous and intracoronary infarct treatment as well as without thrombolysis. In addition, the currently available mechanical support systems and the possibilities for surveillance and monitoring of patients are presented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of in-hospital mortality in 351 patients who developed cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction and by determining this; we might find that how efficiently we could manage this serious condition in our population by knowing the factors which are associated with high mortality after cardiogenic shock. Moreover impact of early revascularization like thrombolytic therapy or angioplasty was also evaluated. RESULTS Mean age was 65.41 ± 7.78 years in our study. In-hospital mortality with cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction was found to be 44.73%. Significant association of in-hospital mortality was noted with age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and BMI. Patients receiving early revascularization were noted to have lower in-hospital mortality compared to those in whom revascularization was not done due to delayed presentation. This study concluded that there is a high frequency (44.73%) of in-hospital mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial in our population. So, we recommend that for achieving a good outcome and to reduce in-hospital mortality; in addition to rapid diagnosis of this condition, underlying risk factors like hypertension and diabetes should be evaluated and managed accordingly and early revascularization should be done when possible.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is a high-acuity, potentially complex, and hemodynamically diverse state of end-organ hypoperfusion that is frequently associated with multisystem organ failure. Despite improving survival in recent years, patient morbidity and mortality remain high, and there are few evidence-based therapeutic interventions known to clearly improve patient outcomes. This scientific statement on cardiogenic shock summarizes the epidemiology, pathophysiology, causes, and outcomes of cardiogenic shock; reviews contemporary best medical, surgical, mechanical circulatory support, and palliative care practices; advocates for the development of regionalized systems of care; and outlines future research priorities.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock continues to be the most common cause of death in patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction. It has also been frequently associated with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and patients with co-morbidities. Cardiogenic shock presents with low systolic blood pressure and clinical signs of hypoperfusion. Rapid diagnosis and supportive therapy in the form of medications, airway support and intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation is required. Initial stabilization can be followed by reperfusion by fibrinolytic therapy, emergent percutaneous intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The latter two have been found to decrease mortality in the long term. Research is being carried out on the role of inflammatory mediators in the clinical manifestation of cardiogenic shock. Mechanical support devices also show promise in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A pooled analysis in cardiogenic shock due to acute coronary syndromes is desirable to assess the effect of early revascularization (ERV) across all ages and a wide spectrum of disease severity. METHODS Only two randomized controlled trials (RCT), i.e. SMASH and SHOCK, met the inclusion criteria and were combined for a pooled analysis using individual patient data (n = 348). RESULTS SMASH patients (n = 54, 16%) had more severe disease than SHOCK patients (n = 294, 84%). After adjustment for age, anoxic brain damage, non-inferior myocardial infarction, prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery, renal failure, systolic blood pressure, and selection for coronary angiography, one-year mortality was similar (relative risk SHOCK versus SMASH 0.87, 95% CI: 0.61-1.25). Relative risk of one-year death for ERV versus initial medical stabilization was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.70-0.96). There was no significant difference in the treatment effect by age (≤75 years relative risk at one year 0.79, 95% CI: 0.63-0.99; > 75 years relative risk at one year 0.93, 95% CI: 0.56-1.53; interaction P = 0.10). CONCLUSIONS Only two RCT have been published emphasizing the difficulty of enrolling critically ill patients. Despite large differences in shock severity, ERV benefit is similar across all ages and not significantly different for the elderly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a severe complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), associated with a high mortality. A significant improvement in survival has been reported with immediate coronary revascularization. However, there is no clear evidence of such an improvement amongst older patients. The aim of our work was to evaluate in-hospital and long-term outcomes in the group of elderly AMI patients with CS (≥75 years old). METHODS We collected data of 157 consecutive AMI patients with CS who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and compared clinical and procedural characteristics and in-hospital and long-term outcomes between patients <75 years and patients ≥75 years old. RESULTS There were 58 patients (36.9%) with age ≥75 years and 99 patients (63.1%) with age <75 years. Patients were followed up for an average period of 34 months (range 5-69). In-hospital and long-term mortality was significantly higher in the older group (55 vs. 25%, P < 0.0001; and 62.1 vs. 37.3%, P = 0.005, respectively). Multivariate predictors of in-hospital mortality were age ≥75 years (hazard ratio 1.81, 95% CI 1.006-3.27, P = 0.04) and PCI failure (hazard ratio 2.67, 95% CI 1.34-5.307, P = 0.005), whereas, the only multivariate predictor of long-term mortality was PCI failure (hazard ratio 2.88, 95% CI 1.52-5.46, P = 0.001). Age ≥75 years showed only a trend toward statistical significance (hazard ratio 1.62, 95% CI 0.96-2.76, P = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS In elderly AMI patients with CS, PCI can be performed with an acceptable risk that seems lower than that reported in most previous studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The continuing applicability of the Killip classification system to the effective stratification of long-term and short-term outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and its influence on treatment strategy calls for reanalysis in the setting of today's primary reperfusion treatments. HYPOTHESIS Our study sought to test the hypothesis that Killip classification, established on admission in patients with acute MI, is an effective tool for early prediction of in-hospital mortality and long-term survival. METHODS A series of 909 consecutive Olmsted County patients admitted with acute MI to St. Marys Hospital, Mayo Clinic, between January 1988 and March 1998 was analyzed. Killip classification was the primary variable. Endpoints were in-hospital death, major in-hospital complications, and post-hospital death. RESULTS Patients analyzed included 714 classified as Killip I, 170 classified as Killip II/III, and 25 classified as Killip IV. Increases in in-hospital mortality and prevalence of in-hospital complications correspond significantly with advanced Killip class (p < 0.01), with in-hospital mortality 7% in class I, 17.6% in classes II/III, and 36% in class IV patients (p < 0.001). Killip classification was strongly associated with mode of therapy administered within 24 h of admission (p < 0.01). Killip IV patients underwent primary angioplasty most commonly and were less likely to receive medical therapy. CONCLUSIONS Killip classification remains a strong independent predictor of in-hospital mortality and complications, and of long-term survival. Early primary angioplasty has contributed to a decrease in mortality in Killip IV patients, but effective adjunctive medical therapy is underutilized.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) reduces in-hospital mortality and improves long-term outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by cardiogenic shock. However, no study has evaluated the effects of different reperfusion therapies on left ventricular (LV) dimension and cardiac function in long-term survivors of MI with cardiogenic shock. HYPOTHESIS We investigated the effects of PTCA on the development of LV dilation in patients who survived MI complicated by cardiogenic shock. METHODS We studied 34 patients with a first MI and cardiogenic shock in whom two-dimensional echocardiography was performed immediately after admission and 1 month after infarction. Group A consisted of 17 patients who underwent emergent PTCA during the acute phase of MI, and Group B consisted of 17 patients who did not undergo PTCA. We also studied 119 patients with a first uncomplicated acute anterior MI, including 53 who underwent PTCA (Group C) and 66 who did not (Group D). The length and wall thickness of the infarcted and noninfarcted endocardial segments were determined immediately after MI and 1 month later, and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured during the chronic phase. RESULTS The lengths of the infarcted and noninfarcted endocardial segments were significantly greater in Group B than in the other three groups (p < 0.05). The LVEF was significantly lower in Group B than in the other three groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS We conclude that PTCA performed in patients during the acute phase of MI complicated by cardiogenic shock lowers in-hospital mortality and prevents both LV dilation and a decrease in LVEF.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is defined as profound circulatory failure resulting in insufficient tissue perfusion to meet resting metabolic demands. It occurs in approximately 7.5% of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Treatment strategies include inotropic agents, use of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation, and revascularization. Current evidence supports the use of primary angioplasty. Surgery should be considered in patients with triple-vessel disease. If early catheterization is not available, thrombolytic therapy should be given to eligible patients and transfer to an interventional facility should be considered. Effective therapy for shock must also include a prevention strategy. This requires identification of patients at high risk for shock development and selection of patients who are candidates for aggressive intervention.

Abstract
Patients who develop cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction have a very high mortality rate despite early reperfusion therapy. Hemodynamic stabilization can often only be achieved by implanting a mechanical circulatory support system. When, in cases representing expansive myocardial impairment without any chance of recovery, pharmacological therapy and the use of percutaneous assist devices have failed, the implantation of a total artificial heart is indicated. We report our first experiences with this extensive and innovative method of managing irreversible cardiogenic shock patients. The CardioWest total artificial heart was implanted in 5 patients (male; mean age, 50 years). All patients were in irreversible cardiogenic shock despite maximum dosages of catecholamines, an intra-aortic balloon pump and/or a femoro-femoral bypass. In all patients early reperfusion therapy was performed. After implantation of the Cardio West system, all dysfunctional organ systems rapidly recovered in all patients. Four of 5 patients underwent successful heart transplantation after a mean support time of 156 days. One patient died because of enterocolic necroses caused by an embolic event after termination of dicumarol therapy. In summary, our first experiences justify this extensive management in young patients who would otherwise have died within a few hours.

Abstract
The treatment of cardiogenic shock complicating the acute coronary syndromes consists of medical therapy, percutaneous revascularization procedures, cardiac surgery, and the implantation of devices. Medical therapy is limited to different positive inotropic and vasoactive drugs, without any firm evidence of survival benefit using these drugs. Several new pharmacologic compounds are at different stages of clinical research, but are not yet routinely approved for the treatment of cardiogenic shock. The only evidence-based therapy with proven survival benefit is timely revascularization. Intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation maintains its central role as supportive treatment in cardiogenic shock patients. Anecdotal evidence is available about the use of ventricular assist devices, cardiac resynchronization therapy, and emergent heart transplantation.

Abstract
AIMS To determine clinical correlates and optimal treatment strategy in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) on admission. METHODS AND RESULTS In SHould we emergently revascularize Occluded Coronaries in cardiogenic shocK? (SHOCK) trial and registry patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (n=1053), CS on admission occurred in 26% of directly admitted patients (n=166/627). Time from myocardial infarction to CS was shorter, initial haemodynamic profile poorer, and aggressive treatment less frequent in CS on admission than in delayed CS patients. CS on admission patients constituted a smaller relative proportion (11%) of the transferred (n=48/426) when compared with the directly admitted cohort (P<0.001). In-hospital mortality was higher (75 vs. 56%; P<0.001) with more rapid death (24-h mortality 40 vs. 17%; P<0.001) in CS on admission than in delayed CS patients. Emergency revascularization reduced in-hospital mortality in CS on admission (60 vs. 82%; P=0.001) and in delayed CS patients similarly (46 vs. 62%; P<0.001; interaction P=0.25). After adjustment for clinical differences, CS on admission was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality (P=0.008). CONCLUSION CS on admission patients have a worse outcome but benefit equally from emergency revascularization as delayed CS patients, emphasizing the need for rapid and direct access of CS on admission patients to facilities providing this care.

Abstract
Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the setting of cardiogenic shock has a high in-hospital mortality rate, it has been shown to decrease the mortality rate in certain subgroups. The identity and relative importance of variables that are predictive of in-hospital mortality rate after PCI for cardiogenic shock are uncertain. Accordingly, we examined data of >300,000 patients in the American College of Cardiology-National Cardiovascular Data Registry (ACC-NCDR) that were collected from 1998 to 2002 and evaluated the outcomes in 483 consecutive patients who underwent emergency PCI for cardiogenic shock. Patients' mean age was 65 +/- 13 years, with men predominating (61%). All underwent emergency/salvage PCI in the setting of cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction. Mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 30 +/- 16%. Stents were placed in 64% of patients, and thrombolytic agents were administered in 26%. Although PCI was angiographically successful in 79% of patients, the in-hospital mortality rate was 59.4%. Length of stay after PCI was 7.2 +/- 8 days. Logistic regression using all available variables identified 6 multivariate predictors of death: age (odds ratio [OR] 2.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.68 to 3.28, p <0.001) for each 10-year increment, female gender (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.00 to 2.41, p <0.001), baseline renal insufficiency (creatinine >2.0 mg/dl; OR 4.69, 95% CI 1.96 to 11.23, p <0.001), total occlusion in the left anterior descending artery (OR 1.99, 95% confidence interval 1.28 to 3.09, p <0.01), no stent used (OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.63 to 3.96, p <0.01), and no glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor used during PCI (OR 1.96, 95% CI 1.30 to 2.98, p <0.01). In a second analysis using only variables known to the clinician at the time of initial presentation, gender, age, renal insufficiency, and total occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery were significant. In conclusion, analysis of patients from the ACC-NCDR who underwent emergency PCI for acute myocardial infarction in the presence of cardiogenic shock shows an in-hospital mortality rate of approximately 60% when PCI is attempted.

Abstract
This retrospective observational review compares patient characteristics and in-hospital and long-term outcomes of cohorts of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction (MI) prior to the use of stents (as well as glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor and dual-antiplatelet therapy) with PCI in the stent era. Cardiogenic shock remains the leading cause of hospital mortality from acute MI. This is a report of consecutive patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute MI, without mechanical complication, referred for emergency catheterization to a single operator at two consecutive Veterans Affairs medical centers over a 15-year period (1988 to August 2003). PCI was attempted in all 93 cases: 44 consecutive patients in the present era and 49 consecutive patients in the stent era. Patients with comparable extent of coronary disease, more ST elevation myocardial infarction, multiple areas of infarction, and greater comorbidity underwent PCI in the stent era. Nevertheless, PCI in the stent era was associated with higher rates of acute success and improved in-hospital survival. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank testing showed highly significant improvement in overall survival (P < 0.0001). Logistic regression of in-hospital survival demonstrated that stent use (colinear with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa use and dual-antiplatelet therapy) was significantly associated with survival in a model adjusting for extent of coronary disease and comorbidities (P = 0.007). Stents and abciximab have been associated with improved acute angiographic and procedural success of PCI for cardiogenic shock, leading to improved survival.

Abstract
Thisstudy examines the potential number of patients who would be diverted from hospitals without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) capability, to centers with this capability, as a result of prehospital triage strategies for patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI). All patients with AMI admitted during a 1-year study period at two urban hospitals without PCI capability were identified through a prospectively maintained AMI registry. Pertinent clinical data were extracted from the AMI registry and patients' medical records. Patients were considered to have been eligible for prehospital diversion to a PCI center if they had ischemic symptoms of greater than 20 min and less than 24 h duration, and electrocardiographic changes consistent with ST elevation AMI (STEMI) were noted at the time of Emergency Department (ED) arrival or before arrival. There were 176 patients with AMI identified. One hundred three patients were transported to the ED by Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Of these, 39 had a clinical presentation and diagnostic EKG evidence of STEMI on ED arrival. Implementation of a prehospital triage strategy for patients with suspected STEMI may result in the diversion of 22% of patients with AMI from hospitals without PCI capability, assuming perfect specificity of prehospital triage. Actual implementation of a prehospital AMI diversion protocol may have an even greater impact on nonreceiving hospitals.

Abstract
Interventional procedures associated with acute coronary syndromes or performed on saphenous bypass grafts frequently lead to embolic complications, resulting in no-reflow phenomenon, side-branch occlusion, or peri-procedural infarction. The RESCUE thrombo-aspiration system was used in 19 percutaneous coronary interventions. After initial use of the aspiration device, 81% of procedures were followed by stent deployment. TIMI flow 2 or higher was present in 42% at the beginning of the procedure and in 95% at the end. In-hospital MACE rate was 4.76%. This relatively user-friendly technique appears rapid and efficacious in the case of visible intracoronary thrombus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), the efficacy of thrombolysis is low. Angioplasty after failed thrombolysis (rescue percutaneous coronary angioplasty [PTCA]) has been associated with an increase in the incidence of inhospital complications. It has been proposed that these complications result from the procedure itself. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the efficacy, inhospital complications, and mortality rate of patients with MI who are treated with primary PTCA and PTCA after initial thrombolysis (rescue or immediate rescue) in an experienced clinical center specializing in percutaneous coronary interventions. METHODS AND RESULTS The study group consisted of consecutive patients with MI treated with primary PTCA (n = 195) or PTCA after initial thrombolysis (n = 179). The study was performed in a referral center with a 24-hour catheter-laboratory service. The success rate of the procedure was 90.5% and 88.2% in the PTCA after initial thrombolysis group and primary PTCA group, respectively. The groups did not differ in the frequency of reocclusion, emergency surgical revascularization (coronary artery bypass grafting), or stroke. In patients without cardiogenic shock, the inhospital mortality rates were 3.2% and 0.6% in the rescue and immediate rescue group and primary PTCA group, respectively (not significant). In a subgroup of patients with cardiogenic shock, the mortality rate was 36.0% in the initial thrombolysis PTCA group and 30.8% in the primary PTCA group. However, after successful PTCA in this subgroup, the mortality rate dropped to 18% and 10%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS After initial thrombolysis, PTCA is safe, effective, and likely to restore grade 3 Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow in about 90% of patients. When available, immediate rescue PTCA should be performed in all patients, including patients with cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several predictors of survival have been described in selected subgroups of patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction. However, data on unselected patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock, including patients with out-of hospital cardiac arrest, are missing. We aimed to assess predictors of survival for an unselected cohort of patients representative of clinical practice who experienced acute myocardial infarction and required continuous catecholamine support for circulatory failure. METHODS The study was performed at a 2000 bed university hospital. All consecutive patients admitted to our emergency department with acute myocardial infarction were prospectively enrolled in a clinical trial from 1993 to 2000. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study was performed on patients with myocardial infarction requiring catecholamine support within the first 24 h. Primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. RESULTS The analysis was carried out on 262 patients, 189 men (72%), median age 65 years (IQR 53-73). Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was reported in 47% (122/262). In-hospital mortality was 53% (138/262). Survivors as compared to non-survivors exhibited significant differences with respect to age (60 vs. 68 years, P<0.0001), systolic and diastolic blood pressure on admission (110 vs. 102 mmHg, P=0.01 and 64 vs. 58 mmHg, P=0.006, respectively), initial blood serum lactate (6.8 vs. 8.3, P=0.01), peak CKMB level (93 vs. 138 U/l, P=0.005), use of adrenaline (epinephrine) (38 vs. 68%, P<0.0001) and any attempt of revascularisation (76 vs. 63%, P=0.03). In a multivariate model younger age [OR 1.06 (CI 1.03-1.10), P<0.001], no use of adrenaline [OR 2.63 (CI 1.35-5.26) P=0.005] and lower peak CKMB [OR 1.01 (CI 1.01-1.01), P<0.0001] were independently associated with in-hospital survival. CONCLUSION In unselected patients including CPR survivors with acute myocardial infarction requiring continuous catecholamine support, younger age, the absence of continuous adrenaline administration and a lower peak CKMB were independently associated with increased in-hospital survival.

Abstract
AngioJet thrombectomy (AJ) has been shown to be safe and effective in treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, use of AJ has not been studied extensively in AMI with cardiogenic shock (CS). Clinical outcomes in 19 patients with CS and treated with AJ were retrospectively analyzed. Immediate stenting was also performed. Procedure success (final diameter stenosis < 50% and TIMI flow > or = 2) was achieved in 95%, with final TIMI 3 flow in 89%. Clinical success (procedure success without major in-hospital cardiac events) was achieved in 68%. There were five in-hospital deaths and no patients experienced stroke or required emergent bypass surgery. At 30-day follow-up, there were no additional deaths or stroke, and two patients had undergone target vessel revascularization. AJ is relatively safe and effective in the setting of AMI complicated with CS, allowing for immediate definitive treatment. This strategy may offer improved mortality in these high-risk patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of early revascularization among patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock remains controversial. Angioplasty registries, while suggesting a benefit, are subject to selection bias, and clinical trials have been underpowered to detect early benefits. If an invasive strategy is beneficial in this population, patients admitted to hospitals with onsite coronary revascularization might be expected to have a better prognosis. We sought to determine whether access to cardiovascular resources at the admitting hospital influenced the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. METHODS By use of the Cooperative Cardiovascular Project database (a retrospective medical record review of Medicare patients discharged with acute myocardial infarction), we identified patients aged > or =65 years whose myocardial infarction was complicated by cardiogenic shock. RESULTS Of the 601 patients with cardiogenic shock, 287 (47.8%) were admitted to hospitals without revascularization services and 314 (52.2%) were admitted to hospitals with coronary angioplasty and coronary artery bypass surgery facilities. Clinical characteristics were similar across the subgroups. Patients admitted to hospitals with revascularization services were more likely to undergo coronary revascularization during the index hospitalization and during the first month after acute myocardial infarction. After adjustment for demographic, clinical, hospital, and treatment strategies, the presence of onsite revascularization services was not associated with a significantly lower 30-day (odds ratio 0.83, 95% CI 0.47, 1.45) or 1-year mortality (odds ratio 0.91, 95% CI 0.49, 1.72). CONCLUSIONS In a community-based cohort, patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock did not have significantly different adjusted 30-day and 1-year mortality, irrespective of the revascularization capabilities of the admitting hospital.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiogenic shock is the leading cause of death among patients hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction. Conventional treatment for acute myocardial infarction does not achieve a better outcome in these patients, but prior studies with emergency revascularization by coronary angioplasty seem to provide encouraging results. PATIENTS AND METHOD A retrospective study of the clinical and angiographic results of elective primary angioplasty in 48 patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction of less than 12 hours is described. Intraaortic balloon counterpulsation was used in 79% of the patients. Patients with cardiogenic shock secondary to mechanical complications were excluded. RESULTS Angiographic success, defined as a residual stenosis < 50% and final TIMI flow >/= 2, was achieved in 85% of the culprit lesions, and stents were implanted in 76%. Multivessel angioplasty was performed in 25% of the patients, and abciximab was used in 35% of the cases. Mean time from the onset of symptoms to angioplasty was 7.4 +/- 3.1 hours. In-hospital survival was 58%, and was 54% at six months follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Emergency coronary revascularization with primary angioplasty and intracoronary stenting is effective in patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. TIMI flow >/= 2 is achieved in most patients, and mortality is reduced when compared with conservative treatment in historical series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The SHOCK Registry prospectively enrolled patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction in 36 multinational centers. METHODS Cardiogenic shock was predominantly attributable to left ventricular pump failure in 884 patients. Of these, 276 underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after shock onset and are the subject of this report. RESULTS The majority (78%) of patients undergoing angiography had multivessel disease. As the number of diseased arteries rose from 1 to 3, mortality rates rose from 34.2% to 51.2%. Patients who underwent PCI had lower in-hospital mortality rates than did patients treated medically (46.4% vs 78.0%, P < .001), even after adjustment for patient differences and survival bias (P = .037). Before PCI, the culprit artery was occluded (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction grade 0 or 1 flow) in 76.3%. After PCI, the in-hospital mortality rate was 33.3% if reperfusion was complete (grade 3 flow), 50.0% with incomplete reperfusion (grade 2 flow), and 85.7% with absent reperfusion (grade 0 or 1 flow) (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS This prospective, multicenter registry of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock is consistent with a reduction in mortality rates as the result of percutaneous coronary revascularization. Coronary artery patency was an important predictor of outcome. Measures to promote early and rapid reperfusion appear critically important in improving the otherwise poor outcome associated with cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
Complications of acute myocardial infarction can be categorized as nonarrhythmic or arrhythmic; the latter is discussed elsewhere. Patients are at risk for a number of potentially serious or fatal complications during or after the acute infarction phase. These include shock, left ventricular free wall rupture, rupture of the interventricular septum, papillary muscle rupture, ventricular pseudoaneurysm, and stroke. Right ventricular infarction, which is typically associated with inferior myocardial infarction, will also be discussed.

Abstract
Mortality rates in patients with cardiogenic shock remain frustratingly high. Its pathophysiology involves a downward spiral in which ischemia causes myocardial dysfunction, which in turn worsens ischemia. Areas of viable but nonfunctional myocardium can contribute to the development of cardiogenic shock. Rapid diagnosis and prompt initiation of supportive therapy to maintain blood pressure and cardiac output, followed by expeditious coronary revascularization, are crucial. The SHOCK multicenter randomized trial has provided important new data that support a strategy of emergent cardiac catheterization and revascularization with angioplasty or coronary surgery when feasible. This strategy can improve survival and represents standard therapy at this time. In hospitals without direct angioplasty capability, stabilization with IABP and thrombolysis followed by transfer to a tertiary care facility may be the best option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited recent data are available to describe the magnitude of, and temporal trends in, the incidence and case-fatality rates associated with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction. The purpose of this study was to examine recent (1994-1997) trends in the incidence of, and hospital death rates from, cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction from a large, multihospital national perspective. METHODS An observational study was performed of 426,253 patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction in 1662 hospitals throughout the United States between 1994 and 1997. RESULTS The incidence rates of cardiogenic shock averaged 6.2%. There was evidence for a slight decline in these rates between 1994 (6.6%) and 1997 (6.0%). Results of a multivariable regression analysis controlling for factors that might affect the risk of development of cardiogenic shock indicated that patients hospitalized in more recent years were at significantly lower risk for shock. Patients with shock had a markedly increased risk for dying during hospitalization compared with patients not having shock (74% vs 10%). Significant, albeit small, absolute differences were observed in the risk of dying after cardiogenic shock over time (76% dying in 1997, 72% dying in 1994). These improving trends were magnified, however, after potentially confounding prognostic factors were controlled: patients having shock in 1997 were at approximately one fifth lower risk of dying (odds ratio 0.79, 95% confidence interval 0.71-0.87) than those hospitalized in 1994. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate a slight decline in the incidence rates of cardiogenic shock and improving trends in the hospital survival of patients with shock. Despite these trends, it remains of considerable importance to prevent this clinical syndrome, given its high lethality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial infarction (MI) remains a leading cause of death in the United States. There is evidence that primary (direct) percutaneous intervention (PCI) may improve survival and reduce morbidity in patients with acute MI. METHODS We present a concise, comprehensive, evidence-based literature review of modern techniques of primary PCI in patients with acute MI. A comparison to thrombolytic therapy, especially in selected patient subgroups is made. Rescue angioplasty is also addressed. Adjunctive pharmacology, economic implications, and feasibility of implementation are discussed. A brief discussion of experimental therapies is included. RESULTS Primary PCI is an acceptable alternative to thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute MI and may result in superior outcomes in select patient populations, especially the elderly, patients with prior coronary artery bypass surgery, those with congestive heart failure, and those in cardiogenic shock. CONCLUSIONS Clinical trials support the use of primary PCI as first-line therapy for acute myocardial infarction. Patients in whom thrombolytic therapy is contraindicated or known to have reduced efficacy are also excellent candidates for this therapy. Ongoing advancements in equipment and adjunctive therapies continue to enhance delivery of this treatment as well as improve patient outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to delineate the angiographic findings, clinical correlates and in-hospital outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating acute myocardial infarction. BACKGROUND Patients with CS complicating acute myocardial infarction carry a grave prognosis. Detailed angiographic findings in a large, prospectively identified cohort of patients with CS are currently lacking. METHODS We compared the clinical characteristics, angiographic findings, and in-hospital outcomes of 717 patients selected to undergo angiography and 442 not selected, overall and by shock etiology: left or right ventricular failure versus mechanical complications. RESULTS Patients who underwent angiography had lower baseline risk and a better hemodynamic profile than those who did not. Overall, 15.5% of the patients had significant left main lesions on angiography, and 53.4% had three-vessel disease, with higher rates of both for those with ventricular failure, compared with patients who had mechanical complications. Among patients who underwent angiography, those with ventricular failure had significantly lower in-hospital mortality than patients with mechanical complications (45.2% vs. 57.0%; p = 0.021). Importantly, for patients with ventricular failure, in-hospital mortality also correlated with disease severity: 35.0% for no or single-vessel disease versus 50.8% for three-vessel disease. Furthermore, mortality was associated with the culprit lesion location (78.6% in left main lesion, 69.7% in saphenous vein graft lesions, 42.4% in circumflex lesions, 42.3% in left anterior descending lesions, and 37.4% in right coronary artery lesions), and Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade (46.5% in TIMI 0/1, 49.4% in TIMI 2 and 26% in TIMI 3). CONCLUSIONS Patients who underwent angiographic study in the SHOCK Trial Registry had a more benign cardiac risk profile, more favorable hemodynamic findings and lower in-hospital mortality than those for whom angiograms were not obtained. Patients with CS caused by ventricular failure had more severe atherosclerosis, and a different distribution of culprit vessel involvement but lower in-hospital mortality, than those with mechanical complications. Overall in-hospital survival correlates with the extent of coronary artery obstructions, location of culprit lesion and baseline coronary TIMI flow grade.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to examine the implications of the timing of onset of cardiogenic shock (CS) after acute myocardial infarction (MI). BACKGROUND Little information is available about the relationships between timing, clinical substrate, management and outcomes of shock. METHODS The multinational SHOCK Trial Registry enrolled MI patients with CS from 1993 to 1997. Cardiogenic shock was predominantly attributable to left ventricular (LV) failure in 815 Registry patients for whom temporal data were available. We examined factors related to the timing of shock onset and the relation of temporal onset to in-hospital outcomes. RESULTS Overall, shock developed a median of 6.2 h after MI symptom onset. Shock onset varied by culprit artery: left main, median 1.7 h; right, 3.5 h; circumflex, 3.9 h; left anterior descending (LAD), 11.0 h; saphenous vein graft, 10.9 h (p = 0.025). Early shock (< 24 h) occurred in 74.1% and was associated with chest pain at shock onset, ST-segment elevation in two or more leads, multiple infarct locations, inferior MI, left main disease and smoking. Late shock (> or = 24 h) was associated with recurrent ischemia, Q waves in two or more leads and LAD culprit vessel. Mortality was higher in patients with early versus late shock (62.6% vs. 53.6%, p = 0.022). CONCLUSIONS Shock onset after acute MI occurred within 24 h in 74% of the patients with predominant LV failure. Mortality was slightly higher in patients developing shock early rather than later. Many factors influence when shock develops, which has implications for its management.
