Advanced Cardiogenic-shock Team versus standard care in cardiogenic SHOCK: a single centre service evaluation project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) carries high mortality. Early revascularisation improves survival, but the effect of structured multidisciplinary care on outcomes remains underexplored.

Methods and results

ACT-SHOCK is a service evaluation at a UK tertiary cardiac centre. Between May 2023 and May 2024, 82 patients with AMI-related CS requiring emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were identified using protocolised physiological criteria and managed by an Advanced Cardiogenic-Shock Team (ACT). The ACT comprised interventional cardiologists, intensivists, anaesthetists, critical care staff and cardiac physiologists, coordinating PCI and ongoing care. Outcomes were compared with 83 historical controls from the year p
