Overview

Once patients at high risk for shock are identified, a subset of patients most likely to benefit from aggressive intervention must be selected , the question remains as to which interventions are most efficacious? There is an emerging body of literature suggesting that high-risk patients with acute MI may fare best with primary angioplasty. For example, in the PAM1 study,a which was the largest of the early randomized trials comparing thrombolysis with PTCA, there was a strong trend toward lower mortality in the primary PTCA group compared with patients treated with TPA (6.5 vs. 2.6%, p = 0.06). A posthoc analysis demonstrated little difference in outcome between the two strategies in low-risk patients, but in a high-risk subset (defined as anterior MI, age >70, or HR > 100 beatdmin) there was a significant mortality benefit of primary angioplasty compared with thrombolysis (2 vs. 10.4% mortality, p = 0.01). This finding has subsequently been observed in additional studies of primary angioplasty. Because of the probable benefit of primary PTCA in high-risk patients, one recent studf6 randomized a consecutive series of low-risk patients to thrombolysis versus primary FTCA, and performed primary PTCA on all high-risk patients (using the PAM1 criteria). The interesting finding was that not only did low-risk patients have a lower incidence of the combined end point of death, cerebrovascular accident, and reinfarction with primary PTCA, but also that high-risk patients undergoing primary PTCA had a lower incidence of the combined end point than did low-risk patients undergoing thrombolysis. This suggest that primary PTCA, if performed in a timely fashion in high-risk patients, offers a significant benefit over thrombolytic therapy.

Secondary prevention

Attending to the definition of secondary prevention, namely the methods or techniques used in order to avoid the development of symptoms of an already existent disease, and considering the fact that left ventricular failure following MI is the most common cause of cardiogenic shock, these patients should undergo secondary prevention of myocardial infarction. This is a crucial part of the management of STEMI patients, regardless of their gender.[1][2][3][4] Since atherosclerotic disease is commonly found in multiple vessels in STEMI patients, these should be evaluated for possible signs or symptoms of peripheral vascular or cerebrovascular disease.[1] As secondary prevention, these patients have the following indications:[1]
