    INTRODUCTION

    Cardiogenic shock (CS) is the leading cause of deathin patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction(AMI). Mortality from CS remains high. The develop-ment of CS is rarely unexpected; most patients whodevelop CS do so within 48 hrs of admission, with only10% shocked on arrival1. CS in AMI occurs when 40%or more of the left ventricle is destroyed. It occurs withinhours of the onset of an infarction due to massive ischae-mia and infarction. A relatively small infarction super-imposed on extensive previous damage may also pre-cipitate CS. Diagnosis of CS is defined as systolic bloodpressure < 90 mm Hg, evidence of hypoperfusion (coldclammy skin, cerebral obtundation), pulse > 100 bpm.

    Abstract Cardiogenic shock is character ized by inadequate tissue perfusion due to cardiac dysfunction and is the leading cause of death in patientshospitalized with acute myocardial infarction. Mortality from cardiogenic shock still remains high. The development of cardiogenic shock is rarely unex-

    pected; most patients who develop cardiogenic shock do so within 48 hrs of admission, with only 10% shocked on arrival. Mortality rate is exceedingly

    high and reaches 70-80% in those treated conservatively. Early revascularization is the cornerstone treatment of acute myocardial infarction complicated

    by cardiogenic shock. According to the guidelines, revascularization is effective up to 36 hours after the onset of cardiogenic shock and performed within

    18 hours after the diagnosis of cardiogenic shock. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention is the most effi cient therapy to restore coronary flow in the

    infarct-related artery. However, invasive strategy in a developing country like ours is not only costly but also technically demanding. We present a case of

    acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock that underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention and also review the incidence,

    pathophysiology, management and outcome of cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction.

    Keywords Cardiogenic shock acute myocardial infarction revascularization.

    Early revascularization is the cornerstone treatment ofAMI complicated by CS. According to the guidelines,revascularization is effective up to 36 hours after theonset of CS and performed within 18 hours after thediagnosis of CS. Primary percutaneous coronary inter-

    vention (PCI) is the most efficient therapy to restorecoronary flow in the infarct-related artery.

    CASE PRESENTATION

    A 69-year-old female patient presented to the emer-gency department of the College of Medical Sciences &Teaching Hospital, Bharatpur, with a 16-hour history ofretrosternal chest pain, epigastric pain, vomiting withbreathlessness and profuse sweating. The patients med-ical history was significant for long-standing hyperten-sion and type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as occasionalexertional chest pains which were relieved by rest.

    Clinical examination revealed an obese restless patientwith a blood pressure (BP) of 110/60 bilaterally and aregular pulse at 90 beats per minute. The jugular veins

    were congested with a venous pressure of 21 mm Hgabove the sternal angle and positive Kussmauls sign.

    ventricular systolic dysfunction with an ejection fractionof 35% and a severely hypocontractile and dilated rightventricle. After admission in the CCU, the patients BPdecreased to 80/40 mm Hg. Inotropic support with dopa-mine, dobutamine and nor-adrenaline was started.

    Cardiac catheterization was carried out under generalanaesthesia with inotropic support with dopamine,dobutamine and nor-adrenaline for BP support. A tem-porary pacemaker was inserted via the right femoral

    vein for intermittent complete heart block. Coronaryangiography (CAG) showed an occluded proximal rightcoronary artery (RCA) (figure 2) with minor non-obstructive disease of the left system.

    Primary PCI of the RCA, which was considered to bethe infarct-related artery, was undertaken. A 2.0 mm 10 mm balloon catheter was used to dilate the occludedlesion, and a 3.0 mm 20 mm PresillionTMbare metal

    stent (Medinol Ltd, Israel) was deployed, with improveddistal coronary flow to TIMI grade III (figure 3). TheBP increased to 110/65 mm Hg. The electrocardio-graphical monitor showed a sinus rhythm with a rate of85 beats per minute. Inotropic support was stopped nextday. The temporary pacemaker was removed and thepatient was extubated on the second and third admissionday, respectively.

    INCIDENCE

    Mortality rate in AMI complicated with CS is exceed-ingly high and reaches 70-80% in those treated con-servatively2,3.Large thrombolytic trials demonstrate a

    Cardiac examination revealed normal first and secondheart sounds and an S3 gallop but no murmurs or per-icardial rub. Chest examination revealed bilaterally equal

    air entry with normal vesicular breathing and bibasilarcrepitations and rhonchi.An electrocardiogram was performed in the emer-

    gency room and revealed Q waves and ST-segmentelevation in the inferior leads as well as in the right chestleads (V4R and V5R) (figure 1). The clinical picturetogether with electrocardiographic findings suggesteda diagnosis of acute transmural inferior wall MI associ-ated with right ventricular MI.

    Laboratory investigations revealed evidence of myo-cardial damage with elevation of cardiac enzymes includ-ing troponin. Random blood sugar was high. The kidney

    functions showed evidence of renal dysfunction with ablood urea of 126 mg/dl and serum creatinine of 2.4 mg/dl. Echocardiography was performed and revealed left

    66% and 73% mortality rate, respectively, in 30 daysfollow-up. The prevention of shock is therefore the mosteffective management strategy. The opportunity for pre-

    vention is substantial, given the observation that CSdevelops within 48 hours of hospital admission, withonly 10-15% present to the hospital in cardiac shock1.In the randomized Should We Emergently RevascularizeOccluded Coronaries for Cardiogenic Shock (SHOCK)trial, the median time post MI for occurrence of shockwas 5 hours (interquartile range 2.2 to 12 hours). CS alsocomplicates unstable angina/ non STEMI. Shock com-plicating unstable angina/non STEMI occurs at a latertime period. Shock occurred in unstable angina/nonSTEMI at a median of 76.2 hours (20.6 to 144.5 hours)in the GUSTO II-B trial compared to 9.6 hours (1.8 to67.3 hours) in STEMI, whereas in the PURSUIT trialthe median time to shock in the non STEMI was 94

    hours (38 to 206 hours). The primary goal in preventingCS in AMI is to reduce the time to effective treatment,because of the fact that early reperfusion limits ongoingnecrosis and salvages myocardium.

    Patients with medical revascularization may developCS due to failed thrombolysis, reinfarction, or the infarctextension and these complications may be reduced sig-nificantly by primary PCI strategy. A growing trend hasbeen to use more aggressive therapeutic interventionsearly in patients who have CS as a result of acute myo-cardial infarction. The recent guidelines of the EuropeanSociety and American College of Cardiology (ACC) and

    the American Heart Association (AHA) recommendearly mechanical revascularization for CS for patientsyounger than 75 years with ST-elevation AMI or leftbundle-branch block9,10.

    PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

    CS is the result of temporary or permanent derange-ments in the entire circulatory system. LV pump failureis the primary insult in most forms of CS, but other partsof the circulatory system contribute to shock with inad-equate compensation or additional defects. Autopsystudies show that CS is generally associated with the lossof more than 40% of the LV myocardial muscle. CS ischaracterized by both systolic and diastolic dysfunction.Patients who develop CS from acute MI consistentlyhave evidence of progressive myocardial necrosis withinfarct extension. Decreased coronary perfusion pres-sure and increased myocardial oxygen demand play arole in the vicious cycle that leads to CS. As depicted infigure 5, a decrease in coronary perfusion lowers cardiacoutput (CO), which further decreases perfusion of the

    heart and other vital organs11

    . Coronary flow may beadditionally compromised by atherosclerosis of vessels

    high mortality. The 30-day mortality in CS with AMIwas 64% for reteplase and 58% for alteplase (P = 0.59) 4,5.Despite the strategies in reducing the time to effectivetreatment to decrease the incidence of CS, the incidenceof CS in AMI is stagnant. The rate of CS complicatingAMI decreased from 20% in the 1960s but then plateauedat ~8% for more than 20 years. Acute myocardial infarc-tion is complicated by CS in 7-10% of patients3. In the

    Platelet Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa in Unstable Angina: Recep-tor Suppression Using Integrilin Therapy (PURSUIT)trial, the incidence of CS was 2.9% 6, similar to the 2.5%incidence reported in the non STEMI arm of the GlobalUtilization of Streptokinase and Tissue PlasminogenActivator for Occluded Coronary Arteries (GUSTO)II-B trial7. The incidence now appears to be on thedecline due to the increasing use of PCI for AMI.

    Some investigators obtained data from the NationalRegistry of Myocardial Infarction (NRMI) 8, a nationaldatabase tracking practice patterns and outcomes ofpatients with AMI in the United States. Of more than293,633 patients admitted with AMI between 1995 to2004, 25,311 (8.6%) were diagnosed with CS. 29%patients presented in shock condition, while 71% devel-oped shock during their hospital stay. NRMI registryshows that the frequency of CS has remained steady overtime (figure 4).

    PREVENTION

    The 7.2% of patients developing CS in the GUSTO-I

    trial accounted for 58% of the overall deaths at 30 days1

    dysfunction and shock may be inappropriate. Inotropictherapy is indicated for RV failure when CS persists afterRV end-diastolic pressure has been optimized.

    Peripheral vasculature, neurohormones,

    and inflammation

    Hypoperfusion of the extremities and vital organs isa hallmark of CS. When a critical mass of left ventricu-lar myocardium becomes ischaemic and fails to pumpeffectively, stroke volume and cardiac output are cur-tailed. Vasopressin and angiotensin II levels increase inthe setting of MI and shock, which leads to improvementin coronary and peripheral perfusion at the cost of in-creased afterload, which may further exacerbate myo-cardial ischaemia by compromised myocardial perfusiondue to hypotension and tachycardia. Activation of the

    neurohormonal cascade promotes salt and water reten-tion. Fluid retention and impaired left ventricular dias-tolic filling triggered by tachycardia and ischaemia con-tribute to pulmonary venous congestion and hypoxaemia.

    Cytokine levels rise more dramatically over the 24 to72 hours after MI. Tumour necrosis factorand inter-leukin-6 have a negative inotropic effect. Tumour necro-sis factoralso induces coronary endothelial dysfunc-tion, which may further diminish coronary flow14.

    AETIOLOGY

    Important causes of CS in the setting of AMI are LVdysfunction, RV dysfunction, and mechanical complica-tions (figure 6). Predominant LV failure in the settingof a large AMI is the most common cause of CS (74.5%).Other important causes of CS are acute MR (8.3%), VSD(4.6%), RV dysfunction due to RV infarction (3.4%),and LV free wall rupture (1.7%).

    other than the infarct artery. These patients often havemultivessel coronary artery disease with limited coro-nary blood flow reserve. Ischaemia remote from theinfarcted zone is an important contributor to shock.Inotropic agents and vasoconstrictors temporarilyimprove CO and peripheral perfusion but do not inter-rupt this vicious circle.

    In light of the complex pathophysiology of CS, it is

    not surprising that in many cases, severe impairment ofcontractility does not lead to shock, and conversely, LVejection fraction (LVEF) may be only moderatelydepressed in CS. In fact, the mean LVEF in the SHOCKtrial was 30%.

    RV dysfunction may cause or contribute to CS. Pre-dominant RV shock represents only 5% of cases of CScomplicating MI12. Shock due to isolated RV dysfunctioncarries nearly as high a mortality risk as LV shock12. Itis suggested that the probable mechanism of the shockassociated with RV infarction is concomitant with severeLV dysfunction. RV failure may limit LV filling via adecrease in CO, ventricular interdependence, or both.Treatment of patients with RV dysfunction and shockhas traditionally focused on ensuring adequate right-sided filling pressures to maintain CO and adequateLV preload; however, patients with CS due to RV dys-function have very high RV end-diastolic pressure, often> 20 mm Hg12. This elevation of RV end-diastolic pres-sure may result in shifting of the interventricular septumtoward the LV cavity, which raises left atrial pressure butimpairs LV filling due to the mechanical effect of theseptum bowing into the LV. This alteration in geometry

    also impairs LV systolic function13

    . Therefore, the com-mon practice of aggressive fluid resuscitation for RV

    chest pain at shock onset, ST-segment elevation in twoor more leads, multiple locations of MI (by ECG), infe-rior wall MI, smoking and left main disease. Patients inwhom the right coronary artery was the culprit, or whohad inferior wall MI on clinical grounds, were relativelymore likely to develop shock early. Mortality in thesepatients may be reduced with aggressive medical supportand reperfusion strategies.

    More than 25% of patients who developed shock didso relatively late ( 24 h) after MI. Several factors mayfavour the delayed appearance of shock. Late shock wasmore often associated with recurrent ischaemia, thepresence of new Q waves in two or more leads, the useof inotropic agents, and LAD culprit vessel.

    MANAGEMENT

    Pharmacological treatment

    The medical therapies used in the setting of an AMIhave not been specifically studied in the subgroup ofpatients with CS, though their use as it pertains to rep-erfusion should strongly be considered. Aspirin andheparin should be given as routinely recommended forAMI. Clopidogrel may be deferred until after emergencyangiography, because on the basis of angiographic find-ings, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) may beperformed immediately. Clopidogrel is indicated in allpatients who undergo PCI. Negative inotropes and

    vasodilators (including nitroglycerin) should be avoided.Arterial oxygenation and near-normal pH should bemaintained to minimize ischaemia.

    Treatment of the hypotension and low cardiac outputstate accompanying CS is of dire importance in order tomaintain adequate organ perfusion and tissue viability.Inotropic agents have a central role in treatment becausethe initiating event involves contractile failure. TheAmerican College of Cardiology/American Heart Asso-ciation (ACC/AHA) guidelines recommend norepi-nephrine for more severe hypotension because of its

    DIAGNOSIS

    Clinical definition of CS is a decreased cardiac outputand evidence of tissue hypoperfusion in the presence ofadequate filling pressures: marked and persistent (> 30 min) hypotension with

    a systolic BP < 90 mm Hg reduction in the cardiac index (< 2.2 L/min/M2) normal or elevated PCWP (> 15 mm Hg).

    CS should be suspected in all patients exhibiting signsof inadequate tissue perfusion irrespective of BP. Somepatients may present in pre-shock condition where sys-tolic BP was maintained but the urine output is typicallylow and the heart rate is > 100 beats per minute. Suchpresentation is associated with a high risk of in-hospitalmorbidity and mortality (43%) 15. When the physicianfails to recognize that the tachycardia is caused by pro-

    nounced reduction in the stroke volume and thereforeadministers beta blockers, frank shock may be precipi-tated. Risk factors for CS are heart failure, age > 70,systolic blood pressure < 120, sinus tachycardia > 110 orheart rate < 60, increased time since onset of STEMIsymptoms. In the GUSTO-I mortality model, featuresof end organ hypoperfusion such as cold clammy skin,altered sensorium and oliguria were associated with anincreased 30-day mortality independent of haemody-namic variables16.

    Predictor of early and late shock (table 1)

    Most patients who develop CS do so relatively earlyafter AMI; however, a therapeutic window is often pre-sent allowing for intervention before CS develops. Shockonset after acute MI occurred within 24 hours in 74%of the patients with predominant LV failure in theSHOCK trial registry. Predictors of early (< 24 h) andlate ( 24 h) development of CS are given in table 1.

    Shock might occur early after MI due to occlusion ofa major coronary artery and very extensive myocardialdamage. Early shock was more often associated with

    Mechanical support: IABP

    Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) haslong been the mainstay of mechanical therapy for CS.Use of an IABP improves coronary and peripheral per-fusion via diastolic balloon inflation and augments LV

    performance via systolic balloon deflation with an acutedecrease in afterload. History reveals that the augmen-tation of coronary perfusion pressure was the synergis-tic partner fibrinolysis needed. A study by Prewitt et al.involving canines showed that under moderate hypoten-sion, an IABP enhanced the rate of clot dissolution withthrombolysis22. In 2001, after both the SHOCK trialregistry and the GUSTO-1 trial found similar results,the NRMI-2 database demonstrated a significant reduc-tion in mortality with IABP use in combination withfibrinolysis (67% vs. 49%) in almost 24,000 patients withCS5,23,24.

    In many hospitals, initial stabilization is achieved byIABP. However, evidence for improved survival fromrandomized studies on the use of IABP in combinationwith PCI is lacking. In the large National Registry ofMyocardial Infarction, IABP use was independentlyassociated with survival at centres with higher rates ofIABP use, whether PCI, fibrinolytic therapy, or no rep-erfusion had been used25, however, no completed trialsdemonstrate benefit26,27. Neither was there evidence ofbenefit from the use of IABP in the patients developingCS in GUSTO-I23nor in SHOCK once the confounding

    effects of cardiac catheterization had been adjusted for.There is thus no indication for IABP insertion in CSexcept in combination with more definitive treatment,or to provide stability during investigation.

    Primary PCI

    Despite the synergistic effect of fibrinolytic therapyplus IABP use, mortality rates continued to hover around50% and the focus shifted to early revascularization5,23.The GUSTO-I investigators found that while percutane-ous coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was performed in only19% of the 2972 patients with CS, this translated into amortality rate of 31% compared with 61% for patientswho did not undergo dilation.

    Meta-analysis of 23 large randomized trials haveshown that primary PCI is superior to fibrinolysis forimmediate treatment of STEMI due to more effectiverestoration of coronary patency, less recurrent myocar-dial ischaemia, less coronary reocclusion, improvedresidual LV function and better clinical outcome includ-ing stroke28-31.

    Several studies have reported a decreased mortality

    with early revascularization for CS. The SHOCK trial32,33

    was conducted to answer the question of whether an

    high potency17. Although both dopamine and norepi-nephrine have inotropic properties, dobutamine is oftenneeded in addition. Dopamine works in a dose-depend-ent manner, activating a variety of receptors. At highdoses, dopamine activates alpha receptors in both sys-temic and pulmonary circulations, improving hypoten-sion, though simultaneously increasing pulmonarycapillary wedge pressure (PCWP). Though more evidentat intermediate doses where beta-receptor stimulationis prominent, dopamine has been shown to increasemyocardial contractility18.

    Norepinephrine, a stimulator of alpha receptors, isoften used to quickly correct marked hypotension (sys-tolic BP < 70 mm Hg) and CS not responsive to dopa-mine17. Dobutamine is a strong beta1-receptor agonistallowing for both chronotropic and inotropic stimula-tion. Dose-dependent improvements in stroke volume

    and PCWP are observed with dobutamine infusion. Thebeta2-receptor properties of dobutamine cause periph-eral vasodilation and reduction in SVR, which is oftencounterproductive to the hypotension associated withCS. As such, dobutamine is not recommended as mon-otherapy in patients with CS18. Dobutamine monother-apy is recommended in low-output heart failure (systolicBP: 70-100 mm Hg), in which there are no signs orsymptoms of shock17.

    Fibrinolytics

    Although fibrinolytic therapy generally reduces therisk of death in patients with ST- elevation MI, its ben-efits for patients with CS secondary to AMI are disap-pointing. When used early in the course of MI, fibrino-lytic therapy reduces the likelihood of subsequentdevelopment of CS after the initial event.

    In a meta-analysis, fibrinolysis was associated witha 7% absolute reduction (54% vs. 61%) in mortality at1 month in patients with a systolic BP of < 100 mm Hgand a heart rate of > 100 bpm19. These findings werecorroborated in apost-hocanalysis of the SHOCK trialin which the use of fibrinolytics was associated withan 18% absolute reduction (60% vs. 78% withoutthrombolysis) in patients treated in the medical armof the study20. In the GISSI-1 study21, 30-day mortalityrates in Killip class IV patients had 69% mortality withstreptokinase and 70% in patients who received aplacebo.

    Lower rates of reperfusion of the infarct-relatedartery in patients with CS might help explain the disap-pointing results from fibrinolytic therapy. The otherreasons for the decreased efficacy of fibrinolytic therapyare the presence of haemodynamic, mechanical, and

    metabolic factors causative of CS; these factors are unaf-fected by fibrinolytic therapy.

    ventricular failure. Eighty-one patients (63.7%) under-went PCI, while 47 patients (37.3%) underwent CABG.Overall survival was not statistically significant whencomparing CABG to PCI at both 30 days (57 vs. 56%,P = 0.86) and at 1 year (47 vs. 52%, P = 0.71). However,those undergoing CABG differed significantly from thePCI group in that they were more likely to have diabetes,3-vessel disease, and left main coronary disease.

    CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

    Although the treatment of AMI has improved con-siderably over the last few decades, the in-hospital mor-tality of patients in CS complicating AMI remainsextremely high, even with early interventional therapyand has not changed in recent decades. Given that theSHOCK trial, using a strategy of early revascularization,has demonstrated statistical improvement in long-termoutcomes, the current focus for the management of CSshould remain on timely reperfusion and stricter adher-ence to current ACC/AHA guidelines.

    The patient presented has developed CS in the hospitalafter an inferior wall MI with RV infarction. While thepredominance of CS is a complication of an AMI withsubsequent biventricular failure, a mechanical complica-tion cannot be ruled out. In this case, an emergencyechocardiogram revealed biventricular dysfunction withLVEF of 35%. Emergency revascularization by PCI stent-ing or CABG and repair of any mechanical complicationscausing CS (depending on the anatomy) would be recom-mended. Our patient underwent immediate CABG fol-lowed by PCI stenting to RCA and subsequently was dis-charged from the hospital on the tenth day of admission.

    CONFLICT OF INTEREST: none declared.

    early aggressive strategy improved mortality over max-imal medical management. The SHOCK randomizedtrial demonstrated that in patients with AMI compli-cated by CS, early mechanical revascularization reduced6- and 12-month mortality compared with initialmedical stabilization (including IABP and fibrinolytictherapy) followed by late or no revascularization. TheSHOCK trial reported an increase in 30-day survivalfrom 46.7% to 56% by the adoption of an early revascu-larization strategy32 (figure 7). Moreover, after 1 yearthere was an absolute 13.2% risk reduction in favour ofthe early revascularization (P< 0.05) 33(figure 7).

    The SHOCK trial did not show a benefit of earlyrevascularization in the subgroup of elderly (age 75 y),the benefit of early revascularization was large for thosewith age of < 75 years. For patients younger than 75 yearswith STEMI/LBBB, the current ACC/AHA guidelinesconsidered early mechanical revascularization for CS asa class I indication. According to the current ACC/AHAguidelines for PCI, primary PCI is recommended forpatients less than 75 years with STEMI or LBBB or whodevelop shock within 36 hours of MI and are suitablefor revascularization that can be performed within 18hours of shock (class I indication). However, the ACC/AHA guidelines on the management of AMI gave a classIIa recommendation for early revascularization in thoseolder than 75 years who are suitable candidates.

    CABG versus PCI

    Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the set-ting of CS is generally associated with high surgicalmorbidity and mortality rates. Because the results of PCIcan be favourable, routine bypass surgery is often dis-couraged for these patients.

    In the SHOCK trial34

    , emergency revascularizationwas evaluated in 128 patients with predominant left
