TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) in cardiac intensive care units (CICUs).

TL;DR: In a contemporary network of tertiary care CICUs, respiratory failure and shock predominated indications for admission and carried a poor prognosis, while patterns of practice varied considerably between centers, a substantial, low-risk population was identified.

TL;DR: The Canadian Cardiovascular Society/Canadian Association of Interventional Cardiology STEMI guideline was developed to provide advice regarding the optimal acute management of STEMI patients irrespective of where they are initially identified, and it is anticipated that these guidelines will serve as a practical template to develop systems of care capable of providing optimal treatment for a wide range ofSTEMI patients.

TL;DR: Rb-82 PET flow quantification has high diagnostic accuracy for CAV, with potential for noninvasive evaluation after heart transplantation, and combined PET assessment forCAV yielded excellent sensitivity and specificity.

TL;DR: In this large population‐based cohort of elective PCI patients, the safety of SDD PCI is demonstrated and increased adoption of this strategy could lead to improved bed‐flow efficiency and substantial savings for the Canadian healthcare system without comprising outcomes.
