Acute cardiac care & resuscitation

Clinical characteristics, management, and predictors of mortality: results from the national prospective cardiogenic shock registry (CZECH-SHOCK)

Eur Heart J Acute Cardiovasc CarePublished national prospective multicentre observational study

Authors' conclusion

Acute myocardial infarction complicated by CS still represents the most frequent cause of CS episodes. The in-hospital mortality of patients with CS remains high, despite frequent utilization of haemodynamic support and organ replacement therapies.
