Abstract

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS)carries high mortality risk reaching 50%. For these pts, short-term circulatory support such as the Centrimag (CM) can be used until recovery of ventricular function or transition to long term support. Thallium (TI-201) redistribution imaging is one modality utilized to determine the viability of myocardium. This study aimed to determine the utility of thallium viability in pts supported by CM and to correlate those results with pt outcomes and myocardial pathology.
