A team‐based approach to patients in cardiogenic shock

TLDR
A multidisciplinary cardiogenic shock team is recommended to guide the rapid and efficient use of these available treatments, making time‐dependent decision‐making more challenging.
Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is a common clinical condition with high in-hospital mortality. Early application of appropriate interventions for cardiogenic shock-including medical therapies, revascularization, temporary hemodynamic support devices, and durable mechanical circulatory support-may improve outcomes. The number and complexity of therapies for cardiogenic shock are increasing, making time-dependent decision-making more challenging. A multidisciplinary cardiogenic shock team is recommended to guide the rapid and efficient use of these available treatments. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ESC Guidelines for the Management of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients Presenting With ST-Segment Elevation

TL;DR: The once-in-a-lifetime treatment with Abciximab Intracoronary for acute coronary syndrome and a second dose intravenously for atrial fibrillation is recommended for adults with high blood pressure.

Early Revascularization in Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock

TL;DR: In patients with cardiogenic shock, emergency revascularization did not significantly reduce overall mortality at 30 days, but after six months there was a significant survival benefit, and earlyRevascularization should be strongly considered for patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenesis.

Intraaortic Balloon Support for Myocardial Infarction with Cardiogenic Shock

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.
