AB Cardiogenic shock accounts for about one half of the in-hospital mortality after an acute myocardial infarction. Rapid diagnosis and mechanical reperfusion can improve survival. Mechanical support is an important tool to manage but profound shock or cardiovascular collapse. Extracorporeal life support and other technologies are promising but additional evidence is needed to determine their impact on mortality.
