Prehospital Prediction of Cardiogenic Shock Among Patients With ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction: The EARLY SHOCK Score
The authors identified 8 clinical variables that strongly predict CS among patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. This has been developed into the EARLY SHOCK score, which can be easily applied in the prehospital setting to rapidly identify CS and enable shock team activation. External validation for the scoring system is pending for broader application.
