Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Women with cardiogenic shock, particularly middle-aged women with AMI-CS and those with non-AMI-CS, experience higher in-hospital mortality than their male counterparts.
Key Points The overall incidence of cardiogenic shock (CS) increased over time in both men and women, although women had lower incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI)‐CS and non‐AMI‐CS across all age groups. A favorable trend of reduction in in‐hospital mortality was seen among all age groups regardless of sex in CS patients, except in young AMI‐CS patients (20–44 years) in whom a notable uptrend was observed. After adjustment using propensity score matching, middle‐aged women (45–64 years) with AMI‐CS had higher in‐hospital mortality compared to their male counterparts, while women with non‐AMI‐CS experienced a higher mortality across all age categories (except among elderly patients ≥85 years).
