FREQUENCY OF CARDIOGENIC SHOCK IN PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH NSTEMI AND AGE LESS THAN 45 YEARS

Introduction: An inferior wall myocardial infarction also known as IWMI, or inferior MI, or inferior ST segment elevation MI, or inferior STEMI occurs when inferior myocardial tissue supplied by the right coronary artery, or RCA, is injured due to thrombosis of that vessel. Objectives: The main objective of the study is to analyse the Frequency of cardiogenic shock in patients presenting with NSTEMI and age less than 45 years. Material and methods: This descriptive study was conducted in Health Department, Pakistan during 2020 to 2021. Briefly, we analyzed the incidence rates by age groups, IHM, LOHS, and the use revascularization procedures, such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), for men and women with an STEMI and NSTEMI. Results: The data was collected from 100 patients of both male and female.  Patients with NSTEMI were older than those with STEMI, and presented more often history of hypertension, previous MI and coronary revascularization procedures, and clinical signs of metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: It is concluded that the long-term outcome for early survivors of CS is worse than that of patients without CS.
