This book is part of the AHA Clinical Series published in
conjunction with the American Heart Association in order to focus
on high-interest and emerging topics in cardiovascular disease
targeted for cardiologists and other interested healthcare
providers. Cardiogenic shock causes over half of the
deaths among patients hospitalized with ST-elevation myocardial
infarction worldwide. Therefore, its management is one of the
most important aspects of the care of patients with acute MI.
Yet there is no single comprehensive source for information about
this problem in the modern era; this book fills that gap. Drs.
Hochman and Ohman offer an extremely useful tool for investigating,
evaluating, and treating one of the most important lingering
challenges in acute cardiovascular care.
