Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the in-hospital outcome of cardiogenic shock (CS) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Materials and methods: This descriptive study was conducted at the Ch. Parvaiz Elahi Institute of cardiology (CPEIC), Multan between June 2015 and November 2016. After acute myocardial infarction, 230 consecutive patients were shocked. Group I was the largest group of 110 (47.82%) patients; They were myocardial infarction patients with ST-segment elevation (STEMI). Group II consisted of 100 (43.47%) patients, these patients were nonSTEMI, group III 20 (8.69%); These were patients with acute left bundle branch block (LBBB) in CS. Results: The average age of the working population was 57.5 ± 27.5 years. The total number of males in the study population was 150 (65.21%) while 80 (34.78%) were females. In-hospital mortality was 65 (59%) in Group I, 90 (90%) in Group II and 10 (50%) in Group III. Conclusion: Conclusion: Conclusion: Patients with cardiogenic shock after AMI have higher mortality during hospital stay. This depends on the presence of more risk factors in this subgroup. Keywords: Cardiogenic shock, acute myocardial infarction, mortality in hospital, left branch block.
