ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a life-threatening complication of acute myocardial infarction with high morbidity and mortality rates.
Research motivation
The management of CS requires a multidisciplinary approach involving cardiology, critical care, and interventional teams. Early identification and diagnosis of CS is crucial, as early interventions have been shown to improve survival rates.
Research objectives
This study aimed to investigate the immediate mortality rates in patients with CS undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and identify mortality predictors.
Research methods
We conducted a retrospective analysis of 305 patients with CS who underwent primary PCI and immediate mortality rate was analyzed.
Research results
In a sample of 305 patients, the immediate mortality rate was found to be 54.8% with Killip class IV at presentation, multivessel disease, and high thrombus burden as independent predictors of immediate mortality.
Research conclusions
Immediate mortality rate in patients with CS undergoing primary PCI remains high despite advances in treatment strategies. Killip class IV at presentation, multivessel disease, and high thrombus burden (grade ≥ 4) were identified as independent predictors of immediate mortality.
Research perspectives
These findings underscore the need for aggressive management and close monitoring of patients with CS undergoing primary PCI, particularly in those with these high-risk characteristics.
