Association of Body Mass Index with Mortality in Patients with Cardiogenic Shock following Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Contemporary Danish Cohort Analysis.

Aims: The obesity paradox suggests a better prognosis in overweight or obese patients with heart failure and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) than patients with normal weight. Few studies have investigated the association between BMI and mortality in patients with AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between BMI and 30-day mortality in patients with AMICS.
