Why the study?
Coronary slow/no reflow is not rare after primary PCI for AMI, and the study sought to explore whether shock index is associated with this phenomenon.
Is shock index on admission associated with coronary slow/no reflow in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing emergent primary PCI?
Is shock index on admission associated with coronary slow/no reflow in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing emergent primary PCI?
An admission shock index ≥0.66 is an independent predictor of coronary slow/no reflow in patients with AMI undergoing primary PCI.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May aid pre-PCI risk stratification for no-reflow but should not yet change practice; leaves open prospective validation.
Wang et al. (2019) studied this question.
