Feasibility of early mechanical circulatory support in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock: The <scp>D</scp> etroit cardiogenic shock initiative

Abstract

Centers who adopted a regional shock protocol emphasizing the delivery of early MCS with invasive hemodynamic monitoring can achieve rapid door to support times and can improve survival in patients who present with AMICS. Larger national studies will be needed to further validate this pilot feasibility study.
