TL;DR: The use of intraaortic balloon counterpulsation did not significantly reduce 30-day mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction for whom an early revascularization strategy was planned.

TL;DR: In patients undergoing early revascularisation for myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock, IABP did not reduce 12 month all-cause mortality.

TL;DR: Among patients who had multivessel coronary artery disease and acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock, the 30‐day risk of a composite of death or severe renal failure leading to renal‐replacement therapy was lower among those who initially underwent PCI of the culprit lesion only than amongThose who underwent immediate multivessels PCI.

TL;DR: The clinical spectrum and evolution of SC in a large population, including tissue characterization data from cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, is comprehensively defined and the clinical profile of SC is considerably broader than reported previously.

TL;DR: This study for the first time demonstrates that the MSI assessed by CMR predicts the outcome in acute reperfused ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and has important implications for patient prognosis as well as for the design of future trials intended to test new reperfusion therapy efficacy.
