Background: Cardiogenic shock is the leading cause of death in patients with acute myocardial infarction, with short-term mortality of approximately 50%. Whether diabetes mellitus and high blood glucose levels are associated with mortality in contemporary patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock is inadequately described.
Purpose: To investigate if diabetes mellitus and high admission blood glucose were associated with 30-day mortality in a large, contemporary population with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock.
Article Synopsis
- A study in Denmark looked at two types of mental health treatments: assertive community treatment and standard community mental health care.
- The study found that patients receiving assertive community treatment stayed in touch with their care team better, needed fewer hospital stays, and were more satisfied with their treatment.
- Overall, assertive community treatment seems to help severely mentally ill patients connect with their doctors and improve their lives more than the standard method.
