Abstract

Abstract In patients with cardiogenic shock (CS), particularly those with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), evidence suggests that timely diagnosis and treatment interventions are critical in the prevention of haemo-metabolic compromise. Temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) has shown potential in facilitating revascularization and recovery of patients with acute myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS). Timing of treatment strategies for CS patients needs to be optimized for use of tMCS devices that are applicable to this heterogeneous patient population. Here, the latest evidence as well as the gaps in knowledge surrounding the role of time in the management of patients with CS is summarized.
