Acute cardiac care & resuscitation

Development and validation of a risk score in acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock

Eur Heart J Acute Cardiovasc CarePublished retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

A prediction model was developed and externally validated using data from two large national registries. The model demonstrated good performance and is suitable for clinical decision-making and quality purposes in AMICS.
