Characteristics of High-Performing Hospitals in Cardiogenic Shock Following Acute Myocardial Infarction

Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains a severe complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), carrying an in-hospital mortality of 30 to 50%.1-3 Despite more frequent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and an array of mechanical circulatory support (MCS), the substantial mortality of AMI-CS nevertheless persists.1,4-7 Adherence to process measures in other cardiology domains, such as ejection fraction assessment after AMI or initiation of guideline-directed therapy in heart failure (HF), is associated with decreased mortality.
