Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a complex multifactorial clinical syndrome of end-organ hypoperfusion that could be associated with multisystem organ failure, presenting a diverse range of causes and symptoms. Despite improving survival in recent years due to new advancements, CS still carries a high risk of severe morbidity and mortality. Recent research has focused on improving early detection and understanding of CS through standardized team approaches, detailed hemodynamic assessment, and selective use of temporary mechanical circulatory support devices, leading to better patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how clinical management of nonST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) differs between men and women, focusing on in-hospital events based on biological sex.
  • A total of 1,020 patients were enrolled, with women being older and frailer on average; they were less likely to undergo timely coronary angiography compared to men.
  • Despite differences in prescribed antithrombotic therapies, there were no significant disparities in the rates of coronary revascularization or in-hospital cardiovascular events between the sexes.

Introduction And Objectives: The optimal timing of coronary angiography in patients admitted with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) as well as the need for pretreatment are controversial. The main objective of the IMPACT-TIMING-GO registry was to assess the proportion of patients undergoing an early invasive strategy (0-24hours) without dual antiplatelet therapy (no pretreatment strategy) in Spain.

Methods: This observational, prospective, and multicenter study included consecutive patients with NSTEACS who underwent coronary angiography that identified a culprit lesion.
