[Relationship between the systolic-diastolic shock index and mortality in myocardial infarction].

Background: In the emergency room, the shock index was applied to determine the prognosis in various pathologies, such as acute infarction. The shock index is the re-sult of dividing heart rate by the systolic blood pressure.

Objective: To determine the relationship between the systolic shock index and the di-astolic shock index as prognostic factors for mortality in acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation prior to admission to the Hemodynamics Room.
