Situation: A patient was brought to the ICU in cardiogenic shock.
Reaction: Oh my God! Why didn’t you take him for emergency angiography and subsequent PTCA?
Lesson: Make Sure to perform an emergency diagnostic angiography and mechanical revascularization with PTCA in patients of cardiogenic shock. Results of National Registry of Myocardial Infarction 2 (NRMI-2) trial suggest that this intervention is much better than thrombolytic therapy in such patients.
