Article Synopsis
  • Hospital survival rates for elderly patients (age ≥ 65) with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock have improved from 1986 to 1997.
  • The study observed a significant increase in early revascularization strategies and the use of medications like antiplatelet therapy and beta blockers over this period.
  • In-hospital mortality dropped from 80% to 69%, indicating that advancements in treatment options have notably enhanced survival outcomes for this high-risk group.
