Key result
Early assisted circulation shows promise for cardiogenic shock in AMI before irreversible tissue damage occurs.
Why the study?
Assisted circulation is considered a promising treatment for cardiogenic shock secondary to acute myocardial infarction, but its clinical applicability and timing require clarification.
Earlier counterpulsation may aid AMI shock with viable myocardium; leaves open prospective trials to confirm optimal timing.
1.It is quite possible that assisted circulation (e.g.counterpulsation) is one of the most reasonable and promising measure to treat cardiogenic shock secondary to acute myocardial infarction. 2. Circulatory assitance will not revive the tissue damaged irreversibly; there must be sufficient viable myocardium left at the time of circulatory assistance to permit restoration of cardiac function. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that effective results can be obtained only by earlier implementation of this procedure.

Jun Akune (1974) conducted a review in Cardiogenic shock secondary to acute myocardial infarction. Assisted circulation (e.g., counterpulsation) was evaluated. Assisted circulation is suggested as a promising treatment for cardiogenic shock secondary to acute myocardial infarction if implemented early before irreversible tissue damage.
