Background: A significant proportion of cases of cardiogenic shock (CS) are due aetiologies other than acute coronary syndromes (non ACS-CS). We assessed differences regarding clinical profile, management, and prognosis according to the cause of CS among nonselected patients with CS from a large nationwide database.
Methods: We performed an observational study including patients admitted from the hospitals of the Spanish National Health System (SNHS) with a principal or secondary diagnosis code of CS (2016-2019).
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the incidence and predictors of not recovering left ventricular function in patients experiencing cardiogenic shock due to myocardial infarction related to unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA).
- Conducted at two tertiary care centers from 2012 to 2020, the study included 70 patients, finding that 58.6% faced death or required heart transplantation (HT) or left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) during admission, especially among those with severe shock and occluded LMCA.
- Successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) lowered overall risk but didn't significantly impact outcomes in the most complex cases; a predictive model identified key factors like left ventricular ejection fraction and severity of shock with a strong ability to forecast
