- Abstract
This article presents a study focused on determining whether early revascularization of patients suffering from myocardial infarction-induced cardiogenic shock positively affects their long-term survival. Researchers from hospitals around the globe participated in a randomized clinical trial which examined acute myocardial infarction patients, with cardiogenic shock complications, and incorporated a long-term follow-up study examining these patients over the course of 7 years. The study showed that a larger percentage of patients with cardiogenic shock who were treated with early revascularization showed improvement in long-term survival than those not treated with revascularization.
