Differences Between Cardiogenic Shock Related to Acute Decompensated Heart Failure and Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

ADHF-CS is characterized by a higher prevalence of end-organ and biventricular dysfunction at presentation, a longer hospital length of stay, and higher need of heart replacement therapies when compared with AMI-CS. In-hospital mortality was similar between the two aetiologies. Our data warrant development of new management protocols focused on CS aetiology.
