Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with cardiogenic shock has high mortality and is a challenging topic even in the revascularization era. We conducted this study to understand patients’ outcomes.
Method: We retrospectively analyzed electronic medical records data from 1,175 patients with AMI complicated with cardiogenic shock developed within 3 days of admission to a multicenter medical care system between January 1, 2000, and July 31, 2018. AMI patients were classified into ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) group. The short-term and 1-year mortality and adverse event after the index admission were analyzed via logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards model.
Results: Comparing to NSTEMI, patients with STEMI tended to be younger (65.68 ± 14.05 vs. 70.70 ± 12.99, p < .001), men (73.29 vs. 60.87, p < .001), and have fewer underlying chronic diseases. Short-term mortality at index hospitalization was 14.83% in the STEMI group and 21.30% in the NSTEMI group; long-term mortality was 17.06% for the STEMI group and 24.13% for the NSTEMI group. No difference was observed between the 2 groups for patients who developed a cerebral vascular accident (CVA) during the admission period; however, the major bleeding rate and gastrointestinal bleeding rate were higher in the STEMI group (2.66 vs. 0.22, p = .014; 3.36 vs. 0.22, p = .007, respectively).
Conclusion: In patients with AMI with cardiogenic shock, NSTEMI was associated with a significantly higher mortality rate in both the short-and long-term results. Age and respiratory failure were the most significant risk factors for short-term mortality. Revascularization may be beneficial for the short-term outcome but did not reach significance in multivariable analysis.
