Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is characterized by hypotension along with signs of hypoperfusion. It has been defined by various societies and clinical trials in different manner. Acute myocardial infarction is the most common cause of cardiogenic shock. Despite early percutaneous coronary intervention, shock secondary to acute coronary syndrome carries mortality rates reaching up to 40–50%. Mechanical circulatory support has been designed to potentially improve outcomes in such patients, but data remains scarce on mortality benefits and long-term outcomes.
