Optimal course of treatment in acute cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction.
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy 2018 Februrary
About 5% of patients with myocardial infarction suffer from cardiogenic shock as a complication, with a mortality of ≥30%. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention as soon as possible is the most successful therapeutic approach. Prognosis depends not only on the extent of infarction, but also - and even more - on organ hypoperfusion with consequent development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Areas covered: This review covers diagnostic, monitoring and treatment concepts relevant for caring patients with cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction. All major clinical trials have been selected for review of the recent data. Expert commentary: For optimal care, not only primary percutaneous intervention of the occluded coronary artery is necessary, but also best intensive care medicine avoiding the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and finally death. On contrary, intra-aortic balloon pump - though used for decades - is unable to reduce mortality of patients with cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction.
