In-Hospital Mortality in Patients Presenting Cardiogenic Shock After Myocardial Infarction: Does it Benefit Using an Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump?

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Cardiogenic shock (CS) represents a severe clinical syndrome characterized by systemic hypoperfusion and insufficient cardiac output due to primary cardiac dysfunction. Its mortality often exceeds 40%, of cases, being a highly complex cardiological condition. The etiology is multifactorial, with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) being the predominant cause, responsible for around 30% of cases.
