Cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction continues to have poor in-hospital and long-term survival, with no improvement in incidence or prognosis over time.
The results of this observational, community-wide study suggest that neither the incidence nor the prognosis of cardiogenic shock resulting from acute myocardial infarction has improved over time. Both in-hospital and long-term survival remain poor for patients with this complication.
Goldberg et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
