A post-mortem study of the heart was performed in 20 patients dying of cardiogenic shock finding extensive myocardial injury predominantly affecting the left ventricle and the interventricular septum.Abstract:
A post-mortem study of the heart was performed in 20 patients dying of cardiogenic shock. The extent of infarcted myocardium was defined by using a mitochondrial dehydrogenase stain nitro-BT which allowed macroscopical recognition of tissue death as early as 12 hours. Extensive myocardial injury was found to accompany cardiogenic shock predominantly affecting the left ventricle and the interventricular septum. Severe atheromatous involvement of the coronary arteries was noted.read more

The Surgical Treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction
James K. Kirklin,John W. Kirklin +1 more
TL;DR: Surgical therapy gradually became the recommended therapy for acute infarction occurring during or after cardiac catheterization, and the concept of emergency surgery following acuteinfarction was retarded by the belief that cardiacCatheterization and emergency operation were not safe during an evolving infarctions.

Yutaka Kikuchi,Hitonobu Tomoike +1 more
TL;DR: The prosthetic myocardium was implanted and activated, and changes in hemodynamic parameters produced by the assist device were studied as discussed by the authors, which represents an encouraging step toward the development of a device for orthotopic replacement of damaged myocardia.

The Coronary Care Unit: New Perspectives and Directions
TL;DR: In the past two decades there have been momentous advances in the care of patients with cardiovascular ailments, yet, mortality from coronary-artery disease has remained unaffected, with 65% of deaths occurring in the initial three days and 85% during the first week of attack.

A coronary-care unit in the routine management of acute myocardial infarction
TL;DR: The design, equipment and staffing of the six-bedded coronary-care unit at the Royal-Infirmary, Edinburgh are described and a high proportion were due to causes such-as shock, asystole and severe cardiac failure, which at-present are mostly irremediable.
