Mcs Assisted High Risk Multi-Vessel Percutaneous Intervention In Cardiogenic Shock Patient With Lv Thrombus, Amanpreet Kaur, Akhil Gade, Srinivasan Rajaganapathy, Ruben Abreu, Victor Delprincipe

North Texas Research Forum 2024

Background: Acute coronary syndrome patients presenting with Cardiogenic shock carry a very high mortality risk >70% without appropriate intervention in a timely fashion. Here we present a patient requiring an axial pump mechanical circulatory support despite having an apical thrombus. Case report: 55-year-old male with past medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and medication noncompliance was transferred from outside facility for high risk ACS with EKG showing ST segment elevation in inferior and anterolateral leads. Lab showed hsTroponin more than 125K, BG 556, HCO3 17, and Beta hydroxybutyrate of 41.87 indicating DKA. Emergent coronary angiography showed mid LAD artery …

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Background

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) causes significant global morbidity and mortality and requires early risk stratification. The global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) score is a well-known, validated risk stratification system that does not include race and gender. We aimed to assess whether the addition of gender and race could add to the predictability of the GRACE score model.

Methods

We performed a retrospective cohort study of 46 764 ACS patients from the files of a national healthcare system. We compared the predictability of the GRACE score in conjunction with gender and race versus the original GRACE score. Different …
