Drs. Awad Javaid and Chowdhury Ahsan (both Medicine) recently co-authored a manuscript, "Mechanical circulatory support versus vasopressors alone in patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention," in Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions. The article analyzed a strategy of mechanical circulatory support versus a strategy of vasopressors alone in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock in a large cohort and showed no difference in mortality.
