Thirty Year Trends (1975-2005) in the Magnitude Management and Hospital Death Rates Associated With Cardiogenic Shock in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Population-Based Perspective

摘要

BackgroundLimited information is available about potentially changing, and contemporary, trends in the incidence and hospital death rates of cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The objectives of our study were to examine 3 decade long trends (1975-2005) in the incidence rates of cardiogenic shock complicating AMI, patient characteristics and treatment practices associated with this clinical complication, and hospital death rates in residents of a large central New England community hospitalized at all area medical centers with AMI.
