Article Synopsis
  • This study focused on acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) in the Gulf region, addressing a lack of data by analyzing 1,513 patients from 2020 to 2022.
  • The incidence of AMI-CS was found to be 4.1%, with a high in-hospital mortality rate of 45.5%, and patients primarily presented with ST-elevation MI.
  • Key risk factors for increased hospital mortality included previous coronary artery bypass grafts, chronic kidney disease, and SCAI shock stages D and E, with a 12-month survival rate of 51.49%.*

Objectives: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is associated with poor outcomes; however, the effect of its severity is controversial. We sought to assess the impact of diastolic dysfunction on hospital outcomes and survival after TAVR and identify prognostic factors.

Methods: We included patients who underwent TAVR for severe aortic stenosis with preexisting LVDD from 2009 to 2018 (n = 325).
