The aim of this study was to assess in-hospital mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during long-term clinical follow-up of patients who developed cardiogenic shock (CS) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). ⋯ Primary PCI achieving TIMI 3 flow reduces in-hospital death in AMI with CS. High concentration of CRP and low TIMI flow are associated with MACE during long-term clinical follow-up.
