Key result
Observational study maps US mortality trends and demographic disparities in cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock.
Why the study?
Despite advancements in emergency cardiac care and mechanical circulatory support, cumulative mortality from cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock remains significant.
Observational
This study aims to characterize the national trends and demographic disparities in mortality from combined cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest in the US over a 20-year period.
Cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiogenic shock (CS) represent the most lethal complications of underlying cardiovascular disease, often precipitated by acute MI and malignant arrhythmia. Despite the advancements in emergency cardiac care and mechanical circulatory support, cumulative mortality is significant. We explored national trends and demographic disparities in mortality where CA and CS were both contributing factors from 1999 to 2020.
