Acute cardiac care & resuscitation

Treatment Intensity for the Management of Cardiogenic Shock: Comparison Between STEMI and Non-STEMI

JACC AdvPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Despite increasing use of inotropic and vasoactive support and mechanical circulatory support throughout the hospitalization, both patients with STEMI-CS and NSTEMI-CS remain at increased risk for in-hospital mortality.

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

P = 0.23

Overall in-hospital mortality
41%

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Both drug and temporary mechanical circulatory support device · first 24 hours, then whole hospitalization

First 24 hours

Throughout hospitalization

In-hospital mortality, OHCA vs no OHCA (subgroup) · NSTEMI-CS: 63% vs 36%
P = 0.006
In-hospital mortality, OHCA vs no OHCA (subgroup) · STEMI-CS: 52% vs 41%
P = 0.16
In-hospital mortality, in-hospital cardiac arrest vs none (subgroup) · STEMI-CS: 63% vs 33%
P < 0.001
In-hospital mortality, in-hospital cardiac arrest vs none (subgroup) · NSTEMI-CS: 60% vs 32%
P < 0.001
  • Both drug and temporary mechanical circulatory support device: P < 0.001 for both (increase over hospitalization)
