Abstract

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) or atherosclerotic coronary artery disease has highest mortality rate United States and Worldwide1. It is expected that the projected increase in coronary heart disease will be much higher in South Asia as compared to other regions worldwide. In South Asia, it is expected to more than double over the next 20 years2.

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the frequency of cardiogenic shock in acute inferior wall MI cases during hospital stay.

Material and Method: This descriptive case series involved 100 patients and was conducted at the Cardiology department of Mayo Hospital Lahore from Jan 2018 to –Dec 2018. Patient’s age, gender and presence of cardiogenic shock wasnoted. Data was analyzed using SPSS.

Results: Mean age was 56.24+9.38 years. 57% were male and 43% were females. Cardiogenic shock was seen in 28% of cases.

Conclusion: The frequency of cardiogenic shock is significant among patients with acute inferior wall MI cases during hospital stay. Therefore, it is recommended that every patient presenting with acute inferior wall MI, should be sort out for cardiogenic shock. 

Keywords: Acute inferior wall MI, hospital stay, cardiogenic shock, frequency.
