Why the study?
Clinical investigations of shock in CICUs have primarily focused on AMICS, leaving the full spectrum of shock in contemporary CICUs poorly evaluated.
In contemporary advanced CICUs, acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock represents less than one-third of all cardiogenic shock cases, highlighting a shift in CICU epidemiology toward mixed and non-ischemic shock etiologies with persistently high mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High mortality persists across shock types in CICUs; leaves open whether etiology-specific strategies improve outcomes in non-AMICS cases.
Berg et al. (2019) studied this question.
