AMI Cardiogenic Shock

Clinical Evidence

Best Practice Protocols Include ^1-4

Identify CS early and Impella pre-PCI < 90 minutes
Aggressive down-titration of inotropes
Identify RV dysfunction early and support
Identify inadequate LV support and escalate
Systematic use of RHC to guide therapy

81% Survival at 30 Days in a Multi-Center, Multi-Society Study of Impella®-Supported AMI Cardiogenic Shock Patients
