A Multidisciplinary Approach to Electrical Instability and Cardiogenic Shock in Acute Myocardial Infarction

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

New cardiogenic shock classifications allow prompt recognition and management of complications of acute coronary syndrome. A 59-year-old man presented after a delayed left anterior descending coronary artery ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions stage E cardiogenic shock and ventricular tachycardia storm. He underwent revascularization of the left anterior descending artery, percutaneous left ventricular assist device bridged to permanent assist device placement, epicardial and endocardial ventricular tachycardia ablation, and iatrogenic closure of an atrial septal defect. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
