Expert Article Analysis for: Predicting mortality in cardiogenic shock secondary to ACS requiring short-term mechanical circulatory support: The ACS-MCS score

Key Points

  • A new ACS-MCS risk score incorporating age, lactate, acute kidney injury, and SCAI Shock class predicts 30-day mortality in patients receiving short-term mechanical circulatory support for cardiogenic shock complicating acute coronary syndromes.
  • This study illustrates that shock severity, as defined by SCAI Shock class, is one of multiple key factors influencing mortality in cardiogenic shock.
  • Age and end-organ injury are important mediators of cardiogenic shock outcomes.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

None.
