Long-Term Outcomes of Acute Myocardial Infarction with Concomitant Cardiogenic Shock and Cardiac Arrest

This study sought  to evaluate long-term mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This was a retrospective cohort study using an administrative claims database. AMI patients f rom 01/01/2010-05/31/2018 were stratified into CA+CS, CA only, CS only and AMI alone cohorts. Outcomes of interest were long-term mortality and MACCE (death, AMI, cerebrovascular accident, unplanned revascularization) in AMI survivors.
