Does intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) improve hemodynamics and survival in patients with cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction?
IABP provides significant hemodynamic improvement in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction, with maximal response observed between 24 and 48 hours.
