TY - JOUR AU - Matsumura, Yosuke AU - Nakada, Taka-Aki AU - Abe, Ryuzo PY - 2016 TI - Novel prediction tool for veno-arterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation in acute myocardial infarction patients JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 8, No 6 (June 01, 2016): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2016 KW - N2 - Cardiogenic shock is a state of critical hypoperfusion due to impaired cardiac function (1). Ischemia can induce impaired myocardial contraction, which involves a vicious cycle of low cardiac function and hypotension, resulting in systemic tissue hypoperfusion (1,2). Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most frequent cause of cardiogenic shock, accounting for 80% (3). Despite recent advances in early revascularization, cardiogenic shock is still the leading cause of mortality in AMI, and remains high at 40–50% (4-6). UR - https://jtd.amegroups.org/article/view/7582
