Age is a strong predictor of cardiogenic shock (CS) and death in patients with acute
myocardial infarction (AMI). Few data exist on the impact of an early percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI) in older patients in CS complicating AMI. This report
assesses the impact of an emergency PCI on 6-month outcomes in patients ≥75 years
of age with AMI complicated by CS due to predominant ventricular failure.
