Why the study?
Does right ventricular dysfunction predict long-term mortality in STEMI patients presenting with cardiogenic shock on admission and treated with primary PCI?
Does right ventricular dysfunction predict long-term mortality in STEMI patients presenting with cardiogenic shock on admission and treated with primary PCI?
Right ventricular dysfunction assessed by echocardiography independently predicts long-term mortality in STEMI patients with cardiogenic shock undergoing primary PCI.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May aid prognostication in STEMI shock; extends observational data but leaves open whether targeted therapy improves survival.
In STEMI patients presenting with CS on admission and treated with primary PCI, RV dysfunction as assessed by echocardiography is an independent predictor for long-term mortality.
