Invasive Management of Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Timothy D. Henry et al.

Summary: CS remains the leading cause of mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction, and early revascularization has shown survival benefit in treating CS patients. A recent classification scheme and scientific statement have recommended the establishment of CS centers with standardized protocols for diagnosis and management.

Use of edge-to-edge percutaneous mitral valve repair for severe mitral regurgitation in cardiogenic shock: A multicenter observational experience (MITRA-SHOCK study)

Giulio Falasconi et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of edge-to-edge PMVR on short and mid-term clinical outcomes in patients with CS and severe MR. The results showed that the treatment had good procedural safety and success with acceptable short and mid-term survival rates in these patients, making it a potential bailout option.

Fifteen-Year Trends in Incidence of Cardiogenic Shock Hospitalization and In-Hospital Mortality in the United States

Mohammed Osman et al.

Summary: The hospitalization rate attributed to cardiogenic shock tripled between 2004 and 2018, while there was a slow decline in in-hospital mortality associated with cardiogenic shock during the same period. Consistent reductions in mortality rates were observed across different demographics and hospital characteristics, indicating an overall positive trend in patient outcomes.
