Does Arterial Hypotension Due to Cardiogenic Shock in Older Patients Lead to Functional Oliguria or to Acute Renal Failure?

摘要

Objectives Reports indicate some differencies in the outcome of prolonged arterial hypotension due to cardiogenic shock: acute renal failure in older and more often functional oliguria in younger patients. The aim of the study is to analyze prolonged hypotension due to acute myocardial infarction in older and younger patients and to answer the question: does prolonged hypotension, due to acute myocardial infarction, lead to acute renal failure or to functional oliguria in older patients.
