Predictors and Impact of Cardiogenic Shock in Oldest-Old ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients.

ABSTRACT: Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is the most frequent cause of in-hospital mortality after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Data about CS in very elderly (age ≥ 85 years) STEMI patients are scarce. We sought to assess the prognostic factors and the short- and mid-term impact of CS in this population. Methods: Consecutive very elderly STEMI patients undergoing invasive treatment were included in a retrospective multicenter registry. Results: Among 608 patients, 72 (11.8%) fulfilled experienced CS. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) (OR: 2.25, 95% CI: 1.29-3.92, p < 0.01) and cardiac arrest at presentation (OR: 4.36, 95% CI: 2.32-8.21, p < 0.01) were the major independent predictors of CS. Age (HR: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.03-1.11, p < 0.001), PAD (
