“…This did not account for many sudden deaths before medical attention. A mortality report from a New York City Hospital in 1 year (1954–1955) was 47% of the 394 cases 47 . Five years after hospital discharge, the mortality rate was 49% of the 131 survivors 48 .…”

Advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have been remarkable since the mid-20th century. Even the clinical terminology used to describe some of the various components of ACS have undergone change, while the latter term itself represents a fairly recent addition to the medical lexicon. Although there have been dramatic changes in the diagnostic and therapeutic interventions used and impressive declines in morbidity and mortality, the differential diagnosis and complications of AMI and ACS remain as challenging now as they were a half century ago. This article presents in detail the medical understanding of AMI in the mid-20th century and how physicians of that era managed it and its complications, and contrasts this with current evidence-based knowledge and interventions.

“…The definition of CS has evolved over years [23] and CS-defining criteria have varied among clinical trials and societal guidelines [4,49] as summarized in Table 2 (Ref. [2,3,6,7,16,21,24,26,27,32,35,36,38,39,48,[50][51][52][53][54][55][56]). The widely accepted definition of CS includes clinical signs and symptoms of tissue hypoperfusion (e.g., altered mental status, oliguria, high lactate level) and elevated LV filling pressures (e.g., pulmonary congestion).…”

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a hemodynamically complex and highly morbid syndrome characterized by circulatory collapse and inadequate end-organ perfusion due to impaired cardiac output. It is usually associated with multiorgan failure and death. Mortality rate is still high despite advancement in treatment. CS has been conceptualised as a vicious cycle of injury and decompensation, both cardiac and systemic. Interrupting the vicious cycle and restoring the hemodynamic stability is a fundamental treatment of CS. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the most frequent cause of CS. Early coronary revascularization is a cornerstone therapy that reduces mortality in patients with ACS complicated by CS. Early diagnosis of CS accompanied with invasive hemodynamics, helps in identification of CS phenotype, classification of CS severity, stratification of risk and prognostication. This can guide a tailored and optimized therapeutic approach. Inotropes and vasopressors are considered the firstline pharmacological option for hemodynamic instability. The current availability of the mechanical circulatory support devices has broadened the therapeutic choices for hemodynamic support. To date there is no pharmacological or nonpharmacological intervention for CS that showed a mortality benefit. The clinical practices in CS management remain inconsistent. Herein, this review discusses the current evidence in the diagnosis and management of CS complicating ACS, and features the changes in CS definition and classification.
