Abstract

A 66-year-old retired teacher is being managed in the intensive care unit after having a myocardial infarction. The patient had no prior medical problems. The patient is hemodynamically labile and is refractory to volume support and all pharmacologic interventions. The patient is now in profound cardiogenic shock. Which of the following would most likely be the management of choice?

  1. (A)

    Emergency cardiac catheterization

  2. (B)

    Coronary artery bypass surgery

  3. (C)

    Intraaortic balloon pump

  4. (D)

    Continue inotropic support

  5. (E)

    No further intervention is needed
