The purpose of this study is to describe the outcome in cardiogenic shock treated with aggressive reperfusion therapy and to identify factors predictive of in-hospital and long-term mortality. Cardiogenic shock is the most common cause of death in patients admitted to the coronary care unit. Althoug...
