May aid early risk stratification in AMI; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Can hemodynamic parameters measured at admission predict short-term survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
A hemodynamic index combining diastolic blood pressure, mixed venous oxygen saturation, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure accurately predicts short-term survival and pump failure in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Verdouw et al. (1975) studied this question.
