Mechanical Circulatory Support in Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock: Impact of Sex and Timing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sex differences in presentation, treatment, and outcomes persist in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS). Sex-based outcomes of patients with AMICS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with percutaneous left ventricular assist device (pLVAD) support are poorly defined.

Methods

From January 2017 to August 2019, consecutive patients undergoing PCI who received Impella support within 48 ​hours of myocardial infarction were enrolled in the prospective RECOVER III postmarket registry. In-hospital survival and predictors of mortality were compared by sex.

Results

A total of 358 patients (276 men and 82 women) were included. Women had lower baseline mean arterial pressure and shorter duration of pLVAD su
