Burden of Arrhythmias in Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock

There are limited data on arrhythmias in acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS). Using a 17-year AMI-CS population from the National Inpatient Sample, we identified common arrhythmias – atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), and atrioventricular blocks (AVB). Admissions with concomitant cardiac surgery were excluded. Outcomes of interest included temporal trends, predictors, in-hospita l mortality, and resource utilization in cohorts with and without arrhythmias.
