Early prognostic stratification and identification of irreversibly shocked patients despite primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Conclusions In a contemporary real-world population presenting with CS due to STEMI, age is a relevant negative factor whereas an early and successful PCI is positively correlated with survival. However, a subgroup of elderly patients had severe prognosis despite revascularization. Whether pPCI may have an impact on survival in a very limited number of irreversibly critically ill patients remains uncertain and the identification of irreversibly shocked patients remains nowadays challenging.
